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 and can choose to sell with vacant possession or tenanted.
If selling vacant, 90 days' notice is required for periodic tenancies. Fixed-term tenancies generally cannot be ended early. Tenants have rights for viewings and can refuse open homes, requiring appointments instead. If sold tenanted, the new owner inherits the existing tenancy agreement and must complete a change of landlord form.
