아마 주마다 법이 다를텐데요 주를 알려 주셔야 할듯…

Month to month tenancy requires 30 days notice to quit. They cannot kick you with just a couple of days notice. Did you get written 30 days notice?

If tenant fails to pay the rent, the landlord has to give 3-day Notice to Pay or Quit(Eviction notice).
Tenant has 3 days to respond.
If the tenant ignores this notice, the landlord may file Unlawful Detainer Action at the court.
Tenant has 5 days to respond after being served.(meaning being notified of the action)
Court might give a Writ of Possession to the landlord. Then the landlord may ask the sheriff to send a eviction notice to the tenant, and then after 5 days, the sheriff can remove the tenant from the house physically. Landlord must store any belonings of the tenant for 30 days.

I think it will take at least 30 days for the landlord to actually kick you out. Besides, it is a huge headache. They know it and therefore they are trying to scare you.
If you are not illegal, there is no way they can harm you by calling INS. By the way, it is USCIS now.

Did you get written 30 days notice? It doesn’t have to be notorized.
If you decide to pay the rent and move out on Nov. 15, landlord has to refund the deposit in 21 days by law. If I were you, I will try to prove there has been no damage other than usual wear and tear.(photographs etc.) You could send them a letter saying you will sue them if they don’t make the whole refund. Use the most logical and polite words but be assertive. later you might use it as a proof in the court.

Above is California Landlord and tenant Laws.

I am in NY. This is my work place. I am writting in English.
I do not have lease. but I paid rent check with his name on it for over 7years.

I am h-1b visa.

I belive he threatened me. He did not send any letter upto today.
Last night ,first call he said “none of your business of closing date”. and 10 minute later, call ma back it’ NOV 15. Send me certified check or get out next Monday.

주마다 그리고 경우마다 다를순 있지만…
30 day notice를 줘야 하는건 거의 같구요…
security deposit으로 마지막달 rent를 대체한다는건 잘못된 생각입니다…
상당히 한국적인 생각이죠…
사시는분 입장으론 집에 손상이 없다 생각하지만…
집주인 입장으론 손상이 반드시 있죠…
마지막달까지 렌트를 내신후…
security deposit에서 집주인 손상된 부분에 필요한 부분에 제한후…
(물론 명세서가 딸려 와야겠죠…)
한달후쯤 나머지를 돌려받는게 원칙입니다…

막달 렌트를 디파짓으로 대체한다는 것은 “나는 집에 단 한개의 이상도 없이 완벽히 깨끗이 썼고 이건 내가 100% 보증한다”는 전제인데.. 절대 통하지 않습니다. 아무리 바보같아 보여도 줄건 준 뒤에 받을걸 받는게 원칙입니다.

If I pay last rent, it’ll cover Nov 15. it’s change to new owner Nov 16 05.

If I pay & stay until that time, he does not have time to fix this APT. Cause of that, I do not want to pay this month payment. No guaranty bay back security deposit. He is not involve this APT anymore (after Nov 15)

Also, bank came to see APT for new owner, I believe contract is done for old & new owner . Only closing is left (Nov 15)

7년이나 한곳에서 사셨으면 렌트비도 테난트가 자주 바뀌던 그처 다른곳에 비해 저렴하겠네요. 새 집주인이 그래서 jj님을 무슨수를 써서건 쫒아내고 대폭 오른 렌트비에 새 입주자를 구할 심산이 아닌가 싶네요.
어쨌건, 지속적으로 상대해도 좋을만한 집주인이 아닌거 같네요.
저같으면 기분 더러워서라도 바로 이사 나올텐데, 제가 뉴욕은 또 제가 사는곳이랑은 틀려서 아파트 구하기도 만만치 않지요.
잘 해결 되길 빌겠습니다.

It is ultimately up to you. You decide what you will do because you know this landlord and his character best. He might just shut up and calm down if there is no damage to the apartment as you said. He might sue you but there won’t be huge monitary loss on your side. The thing that he didn’t send you a written notice and that you rented and paid regularly for 7 years will work to your advantage.

I would search with “New York landlord and Tenant Act or Law” on internet or go to your local library to read the Act if you have suspicion that the landlord is lying to you about the house sales and just kicking you out to get a higher rent.

캘리포니아에서는 3년이상 거주하면 많은 부분 공제해 주던데요. 카펫이나 벽페인트비용등등. 그리고 3년이상 거주한 후 계속 거주하더라도 새 카펫이나 페인트 혹은 다른 오래된 가전제품등도 교체를 요구할 수 있더라고요.
