A guide for landlords & tenants
AI summary
Selling a tenanted property in NZ requires respecting tenant rights. Landlords must notify tenants of the sale and can either sell vacant or tenanted.
To sell vacant on a periodic tenancy, 90 days' written notice is required. If sold tenanted, the new owner inherits the agreement and a change of landlord form is needed for the bond.
Tenants cannot unreasonably refuse viewings but can set conditions, such as requiring appointments instead of open homes.
