Tenant rights

Two years ago, I rented an apartment through a realtor, and paid lots of money -- two-months deposit, one-month thank you money, and realtor fee -- thinking that after two years, we could renew our contract and somehow use the place longer to compensate for the initial payments we had made.

The owner/landlord opened up a hair salon business in the first floor of the two-storey building during the second year of our stay.

When the expiration of our apartment contract was nearing, the realtor contacted us saying that the owners would like to use the second floor (where I am staying) as part of the hair salon too.
