<prompt> Human: Theres an area of my city I really want to rent a place in, but I missed out on the last few that were available. I dont have the time to hope for another one to pop up, but theres a few for sale in the area and I was recently told that 1 of the owners may be willing to rent.Is there any downside to renting a place thats also for sale?Wouldnt I also have to agree to let potential buyers come by randomly, perhaps with short notice, who want to check out the house?If they found a buyer, wouldnt they simply have to give me 2 months notice and I have to move out? annoying hassleIm going to contact the owner soon to talk about potentially renting. Anything I should ask or make sure of?  <response>: Purchases dont terminate leases. If you sign a one year lease, for example, the new owner must honor it.If you are just renting month to month, then sure, the new owner might boot you with 30 days notice or whatever your state requires.Yes, the owner has the right to show the place to potential buyers and it would be good to work that out in advance with the owner.
