A guide for landlords & tenants
AI summary
Selling a tenanted property in NZ involves two main options: selling vacant or tenanted. For a vacant sale on a periodic tenancy, landlords must provide 90 days' written notice. Fixed-term tenancies generally cannot be ended early without mutual agreement.
If sold tenanted, the new owner takes over the existing tenancy agreement. Tenants have rights during the sale process; they can refuse open homes, require viewing by appointment, and set other reasonable conditions to protect their privacy.
