AI summary
Selling a tenanted property in NZ requires respecting tenant rights. Landlords can sell with vacant possession, giving 90 days' notice for a periodic tenancy, or sell tenanted, where the buyer becomes the new landlord.
A fixed-term tenancy cannot be ended early unless mutually agreed. Tenants can't unreasonably deny access for viewings but can set conditions, such as refusing open homes and requiring appointments. Clear communication between the landlord, agent, and tenant is key to a smooth sale.
