How does selling a rental property with tenants work in NZ?
A guide for landlords & tenants
AI summary
Selling a tenanted property in NZ involves two main options: selling vacant or selling tenanted. Landlords must notify tenants of the sale and respect their rights throughout the process.
To sell vacant, landlords must provide 90 days' written notice for periodic tenancies. If selling tenanted, the tenancy agreement transfers to the new owner, requiring a change of landlord form for the bond. Tenants can't unreasonably refuse viewings but can set conditions, like refusing open homes.
