Early voting begins in some states ahead of crucial US midterms

Early voting began in some US states on Friday, weeks ahead of the midterm elections that will determine whether the Democrats can regain power in Congress.The issues weighing on the minds of voters include how President Donald Trump is running the country, rising prices for petrol, food and other necessities, and the Iran war.Virginia has opened polls in some areas for those wishing to cast their votes early. Voters in some other states, including Idaho, Minnesota and South Dakota, can apply for and cast absentee ballots in person in some places. Electoral laws on early voting vary from state to state, with some not opening availability until mid-October.

Question: I've rented the same apartment for almost four years and have built up a really good relationship with my landlord. Last week, he told me he's thinking of selling because he feels the market has performed well over the past few years. I'm now worried that if somebody buys the apartment, they'll immediately ask me to move out, even though I'd really like to stay. I've heard so many different opinions from friends that I don't know what's actually true. Could you explain what normally happens when a rented property is sold? RW, Downtown DubaiAnswer: This is a question I'm hearing much more often lately, and fortunately, the answer is usually far less worrying than many tenants imagine.The first thing to remember is that selling a property doesn't automatically end the tenancy. When somebody buys a tenanted property, they also take over the existing tenancy agreement. In other words, the lease continues under exactly the same terms until it expires.Where people become confused is around vacant possession. If the new owner genuinely intends to move into the property themselves, or in some cases wishes to have a close family member occupy it, there are legal procedures that must be followed.
