A guide for landlords & tenants
AI summary
Selling a rental property in NZ requires respecting tenant rights. Landlords must notify tenants of the sale and can either sell vacant or with the tenants remaining.
If selling vacant, 90 days' written notice is required for a periodic tenancy. Fixed-term tenancies cannot be ended early unless both parties agree. Tenants must allow access for viewings but can set reasonable conditions, such as refusing open homes and requiring appointments only, to protect their privacy and quiet enjoyment.
