Rental agreement
<p>I've been renting my house for 4 years now. My lease ends October 1st. I was informed on May 15 that my landlord was selling the property and June 1st I was notified the house was sold and i had 30 days to vacate property. I have always paid rent on time and never had any issues with the landlord. </p>

<p>Question: since the house was sold and i have been pushed out before the end of my lease, will i get my deposit back?</p>

<p>In most common-law jurisdiction, a purchaser buys a house subject to any existing lease. If that is true in your jurisdiction, the notice to vacate was illegal, and you are entitled to remain until the end of the current lease.</p>

<p>The return of the deposit will depend on the condition of the property when you move out, and will be governed by the specific law of your jurisdiction.</p>

<p>Residential leases are highly regulated in many places, and the laws vary widely. Often they vary even by individual cities or towns within a country. Without the specific locality in which the hosue is, no specific answer is possible.</p>
