You are in absolute control here. The landlord has made a critical mistake. Allow me to explain.The first thing to do is to pull out your lease or rental agreement and see what it says about notices to vacate. If you don't have a written, signed contract with your landlord, don't worry, you still have rights.If you are current with your rent and are not in violation of any lease terms and/or clauses, then short notices (3-29 days) to vacate are not applicable in your case.Depending upon which state you live in and the length of your tenancy, you are due either a 30 day or a 60 day notice to vacate. If you have a month to month rental agreement, the landlord can issue that at any time. However, if you have a long term lease, day #30 or day #60, whichever is applicable to your tenancy, cannot be sooner than the last day of your lease.Your landlord has made a critical mistake. By turning your electricity off, he has performed a self help eviction, which is illegal AF. A landlord cannot turn off electricity, gas, and/or water, and cannot interupt services guaranteed in the lease: trash, garbage, recycling, and compost pick up, and cable TV and internet services.To recap - you are entitled to at least a 30 day notice to vacate absent any lease violations or late rent payments. The landlord has performed illegal actions against you - short notice and self help eviction.Your next step should be to find your nearest tenant advocacy agency and make an appointment ASAP.

Well, places change hands. It happens. You need to determine if your old rental agreement stays in place or if it is over. If it is over, you have two choices. Move your stuff or sign the new rental agreement. It is extremely unlikely that the place will be willing to negotiate new terms with you, though you could try that too.If your rental agreement isn't over, then you could see if you can possibly enforce the old agreement, until it ends. At that point, you will either need to move your stuff or sign a new rental agreement. Whether your old agreement will be honored for any time period left (if you aren't month to month) really depends on what the old agreement stated and what legal protections you have as far as storage facilities in your state.From your comments on David Jensen's answer, it doesn't like the terms are very favorable. It might well be time to find a new storage place. Assuming there are any around with more favorable terms.
