Hi. I (still) need a subplot to ratchet up the pressure on my protagonist. So, I'm considering having the building she lives in be sold. The new owner wants to kick everyone out who can't pay a much higher rent. Could this happen? How long would she have to get out? 30 days? Has this ever happened to any of you?
The novel is set in upstate New York. It's a private building. Not rent controlled.
If the scenario I'm describing isn't legal (although I think it is) what about if the landlord is kicking everyone out to do extensive renovations?
Thanks for any help or personal experiences. The above scenario is my nightmare, but hasn't happened to me... yet.
