Edit: Turns out someone at the main office fucked up and sent that email out when they don’t do occupied showings. Fuckers nearly gave me a panic attack. This definitely lit a fire under my ass though and I appreciate the comments some of y’all left greatly.

Just got an email from the management company for my girlfriend’s and my apartment saying they were gonna do a showing tomorrow morning (which is less than 24hrs away but that’s a separate issue i emailed them back about).

This is the first place the both of us have actually rented. Is this usually a sign that we’re on the way out? I’m like genuinely freaking out because I have $500 in my account (which is about to get eaten by my car note and my insurance payment) and my job cut all of our hours to 6hrs a day for the first two weeks back after new years. I’m completely unready to find a new place and I’m getting real close to losing it.

Our lease ran out in November and I don’t think we got the option to renew it (or we did and since my girlfriend, my roommate and I are all pretty fuckin ADHD, we just forgot to look at it), so we’re month to month atm.

I really don’t know what to do or what i’m going to do if this happens.

check your respective state’s rental/tenancy laws, it could ‘just’ be they’re trying to sell it rather than find new tenants. In my country the law differs per state, but some states do have protections around current tenancies and transfer of ownership.

Also check when you can to see there hasn’t been another lease offer you’ve overlooked. Fingers crossed for you

Yes, absolutely.

Read your lease. Read the state laws. Read about your local judge.

Usually they have to give you 30 days notice. On a month-to-month lease. You should check with the management company about if a rental offer was sent ASAP if you aren’t behind on your lease.

This is state specific. 30 days is actually on the high end.
