Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
A.  A conveyance of real estate, or of any interest therein, by
a landlord shall be valid without the attornment of the tenant, but
the payment of rent by the tenant to the grantor at any time before
written notice of the conveyance is given to the tenant shall be
good against the grantee.
B.  The attornment of a tenant to a stranger shall be void, and
shall not affect the possession of the landlord unless it is made
with the consent of the landlord, or pursuant to a judgment at law,
or the order or decree of a court.
C.  Unless otherwise agreed and except as otherwise provided in
this act, upon termination of the owner's interest in the dwelling
unit including, but not limited to, terminations of interest by
sale, assignment, death, bankruptcy, appointment of a receiver or
otherwise, the owner is relieved of all liability under the rental
agreement and of all obligations under this act as to events
occurring subsequent to written notice to the resident of the
termination of the owner's interest.  The successor in interest to
the owner shall be liable for all obligations under the rental
agreement or under this act.  Upon receipt by a resident of written
notice of the termination of the owner's interest in the dwelling
unit, a resident shall pay all future rental payments, when due, to
the successor in interest to the owner.
D.  Unless otherwise agreed and except as otherwise provided in
this act, a manager of premises that includes a dwelling unit is
