A guide for landlords & tenants
AI summary
Selling a tenanted property in NZ involves clear rights and obligations. Landlords must inform tenants of the sale and can either sell vacant or tenanted.
To sell vacant, landlords must provide 90 days' written notice to end a periodic tenancy. Fixed-term tenancies generally cannot be ended early. Tenants cannot unreasonably deny access for viewings but can set conditions, such as refusing open homes and requiring appointments. If sold tenanted, the new owner continues the existing agreement.
