I should have said rented out from under me - It was rented by someone sight unseen in the middle of COVID without them notifying me I wouldn't be able to renew my lease.

Is this a thing in the US? In most of the world that would be impossible without the landlord giving proper notice that they're not going to let you renew, and a legally permissible reason why.

Further down they say the lease ends in August depending on the state that's probably enough time given they're probably not just finding this out today. I don't think they're forced to have a particular reason for not renewing in the States just a notification period. (not 100% sure I only rented for a few years and never had to really dig in on my local rights)

I absolutely knew the lease ended in August. There was no notification, until yesterday, that my home had already been rented out. I also had the intention to renew said lease, but it's all up in the air at this point.

That sounds illegal. But maybe not worth fighting for.

At this point, fighting may make the difference as to if I am homeless for my 40th birthday. I spent 6 months in a wheelchair in this apartment in the last year. Moving isn't something that I can physically do myself - and family is several states away.
