My Landlord's mother who owns our rental property that we rent month to month just passed away. My wife feels we(I) should start asking around for new rental properties to move into if they choose to sell the house and we need to move. She feels it is just a matter of time before the house gets sold and we should use this time now to look. It is not even on the market yet, but she is assuming that they will want to sell the house and will want to put it on the market before summer and only give us the required 30 days notice. 

I, on the other hand, think this is an overreaction. They have never mentioned anything about selling the house when she passes, and even hinted at the opposite when we brought it up before moving in. Also, we live in a small community, and asking around for properties might eventually get back to the landlord, who might find it insulting that we think he's gonna kick us out soon. Not to mention I am already searching for a job in a new area and we are planning to move in the summer. It's hard enough to look for a job and then a house after that, but to look for one now only to move again in 4 months? 

The landlord is a probate attorney who is giving us this house at a steal because he wants someone here to maintain it, but also because he is worried about family fights with his siblings about the house. Our relationship with our landlords is closer than normal, since we went to church together while we were renting. We were also invited to their daughter's wedding shower and have had them for dinner. It's way too early to talk to them directly as this only happened yesterday.

We have "compromised" to me only looking online for a few weeks before I start talking to people directly, whether we have gotten notice or not.  AITA?
