A guide for landlords & tenants
AI summary
Selling a tenanted property in NZ requires clear communication and respect for tenant rights. Landlords can either sell with vacant possession, providing 90 days' notice for a periodic tenancy, or sell to a buyer who continues the tenancy.
Fixed-term tenancies cannot be ended early unless both parties agree. Tenants must grant access for viewings but can set reasonable conditions, like refusing open homes and requiring appointments. Respectful collaboration is essential for a smooth sales process.
