How to respond to a landlord's 60 day notice of lease termination?

i have a one year lease with the property management agency of fannie mae. lease will expire on october 18. the property manager wrote me a letter that they are not going to renew our lease with us because they are going to sell the house.





my wife and i still would like to renew our lease because of the following reasons:





1. economically disadvantaged but still able to pay rent and utilities;





2. my 12-year old son just returned to school and moving him to another school would give him a hard time to adopt. he is also a very good student as he keeps his gpa 4.0; and my credit history is somewhat bad that surely disqualifies me to move to another house.





i'm appealing to someone who is good in writing letters. Can somewhat help me write a good response letter to the landlord's notice of lease termination? I need an extension or a renewal of my lease. Also hoping to have the same rate and terms. I need more time to save money for the deposit and first month's rent as well as wait for my son to finish his attendance in school.





i don't want my family to even live one night of homelessness.|||You can't renew the lease. The landlord is not interested. End of story. There is no legal way to force them to sign a lease with you.





1 You will be economically disadvantaged but still able to pay rent and utilities somewhere else.





2 If this is a concern of yours you simply rent in the same school district. This has nothing to do with a lease or any ones property rights.





2 months is PLENTY of time to find a place to live. An extension is really outrageous to even ask for.





You need to pack up and get ready to move. If you are renting houses you will be hard pressed to find anything this far in advance, normally you do that in about 2 weeks.|||If they want to sell the house then nothing you can do short of offering to pay more for it than the other buyer is going to change their mind.





Move in with you parents, it will be a lot cheaper, your son will lover being with his grandparents, and you can save up for down payment on your own house while you live there.|||Hello? 60 days from your notice the company will not own the house! They cannot renew your lease under any circumstances (unless the new owners are speculators)





Boo-Hoo, your son will have to go to another school, you'll have to find another house to live in --- start saving your money for another deposit. Be sure to leave your current house in pristine condition so you get your full security deposit back.





TWD|||It sounds like your options are to buy the house or move. A well drafted letter isn't going to help your cause. Call the landlord and see if you have options, though I doubt it.|||All you can do is prepare to move in 60 days.|||Just call the LL and ask. Most likely, writing a letter would waste valuable time you could be finding another place.|||You can not force the landlord to enter into a contract (lease).|||What state are you in?|||"I need an extension or a renewal of my lease. Also hoping to have the same rate and terms. " Not going to happen. There is no way to respond. There is no point in writing any letter. It does not matter why you want to renew the lease - you DO NOT get that choice. PERIOD!!





No landlord is ever legally required to renew your lease. You never had any guarantee to live there past 10/18/11. A landlord can choose not to renew any tenant's lease any time it is scheduled to expire. Nothing you posted changes that. If they do not want to renew your lease then it is not an option, no negotiating to do.





I hate to sound heartless here but you seem to be a little serpated from reality. The landlord has given you proper notice %26amp; you HAVE to move. The sooner you deal with that fact the sooner you can find a place to live.
