Hudson Homes says they’re selling my house and I have to move — is that true?
The short answer
A sale by itself does not automatically end your right to be there. Depending on your lease and your state, a fixed-term lease often survives a sale, and even month-to-month tenancies require proper legal notice — not just a certified letter. A demand to vacate is not the same as a court order, and only a court can actually remove you.
A letter is not an eviction
Tenants report receiving certified letters from Hudson Homes stating a home is being sold and they must vacate by a date. Important: a letter demanding you leave is not a court order. In the United States, you cannot be lawfully removed from your home without a completed court process ending in a judgment and a writ executed by a sheriff or marshal. A landlord, manager, or new owner cannot change the locks, remove your belongings, or force you out on their own say-so.
What usually survives a sale
If you have a fixed-term lease, in most states the buyer takes the property subject to your lease — the sale doesn’t erase your remaining term. Month-to-month tenants generally must still receive the notice period your state requires. Some cities and states add “just cause” protections. The point is that “we’re selling, get out by the 31st” is a claim to check against your lease and your state’s law, not a fact to accept.
Protect yourself
Keep the letter — it may become evidence. Do not click “Confirm Move Out” in the resident portal or voluntarily surrender possession before you understand your rights, because that can forfeit defenses and even trigger “abandonment” fees. Read the eviction-defense guide, and if a formal court filing arrives, answer it on time and get legal help immediately.
