  A: The answer to your first question depends on whether you have a lease because, if you do, you potentially could stay put a lot longer, says attorney Joe Puckett of Puckett & Redford."If there's a lease, the buyer takes (the property) subject to the term of the existing lease," he explains.This means you can stay until it expires.
  
  Let's say instead that your tenancy is on a month-to-month basis.Under state law, the landlord has to give you 20 days' notice before the end of the rental period (usually the end of the month) that you must vacate.However, Seattle has an ordinance that lengthens that to 60 days.So if you're within Seattle city limits, "the new owner wouldn't be able to terminate any quicker," Puckett says.
  
  As for any remodelers at your door, Puckett says, you have the right to what the law terms "quiet enjoyment" of your home until the end of your tenancy."If they're coming in for remodeling, not repairs, I don't believe you'd have the obligation to honor that."But Puckett says all this may be moot, anyway.Property purchases normally take more than 60 days to complete, he points out.

  A: Attorney Joe Puckett, of Puckett & Redford, agrees that as long as the police weren't negligent, they don't have to pay.As he points out, "the police aren't obligated to fix a door jamb" when they break one to legally enter a building.However, just because the police won't pay up doesn't necessarily mean the bill is yours.
  
  From the documentation you provided, it appears the tenants of two apartments got into an altercation, and one stabbed the other in the victim's apartment.Citing state law, Puckett says a landlord isn't responsible to repair damages caused by the conduct of a tenant, his family, guests or other persons acting under his control.
  
  Thus, Puckett says, "I would think the tenant would be somehow liable for the damage that was caused."
