Can a real estate agent come into your house when ever they

Can a real estate agent come into your house when ever they want? I live in NY, and we have been renting this house for 6 years. The owner is now selling it and there is a century 21 sign in front of the house. An Agent from another company came by today and they had the key and an appointment to sell the house. They said they called and left a message. They said it has been listed in the " multiple listings" and today, the agent got the key from another company. problem is, we dont have an answering machine. It scared me to think that any body could get the key to my house, and with robbing and home invasions up around NY, worried because the agent did not look like a nice guy. And a key can be copied faster then it took me to write this here. anyways, is this illegal? |

Check your lease, but its almost certainly allowed by the lease. It may say something about giving you notice, but that may be difficult if they can't reach you. That will still come if they can't reach you, you just won't get any notice. When a house is listed, the key will either be put into a lockbox on the house, or the listing will have a key. In either case, a buyer's real estate agent can get the key to let their buyers have a look. You're going to have a parade of people coming through. Your lease will still be in effect if the property is sold. If you have a one year lease, or some such, you'll at least be able to stay until the end of the lease. Maybe longer if the buyer is an investor. You say you've been there six years. If you lease has converted to month-to-month, and the buyer want's to live there, you may get a notice to move out. |
