SearchUnsure of landlord's intentions
Jane asks:
(updated on Tuesday, November 01st 2011)
Our Experts Answer:
Under the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, a landlord is only required to notify tenants (or prospective tenants) if the property is on the market at the time it is being offered as available for letting or if it placed on the market for sale at any time during the tenancy. If the landlord sells the property while a fixed-term tenancy agreement is in place, the tenancy agreement would continue on the same terms and conditions, with the new owner as the landlord. To discuss your situation further, you can contact the Department of Building and Housing on 0800 TENANCY (0800 836 262).
