A guide for landlords & tenants
AI summary
Selling a tenanted property in NZ requires understanding landlord and tenant rights. Landlords must notify tenants of the sale, which can proceed as vacant or tenanted.
For a vacant sale with a periodic tenancy, 90 days' notice is required. Fixed-term tenancies can't be ended early unless mutually agreed. If sold tenanted, the new owner inherits the agreement and a change of landlord form is filed for the bond.
Tenants must permit viewings but can set reasonable conditions.
