Existence of Lease
The arrangements between tenants and landlords vary. Some rent with no lease and others enter leases for terms varying, usually between six months and two years. The existence of a lease may have an impact on the plans of owners wishing to sell.

 

For tenants, selling a property introduces uncertainty and inconvenience. They have to contend with visitors to the property. Some tenants may not mind a change in landlord. However, most tenants are apprehensive about being given notice to vacate a property or a lease not being renewed, due to a change in ownership.

 

Going into the decision to sell a property that is occupied by tenants requires that the opinions and preferences of the tenant be taken into consideration. Merely broaching the subject will cause some tenants to give notice and find another place to live immediately: for these tenants the inconvenience and uncertainty just aren't worth it. Others won't mind and find that for their purposes, staying put as long as possible is the best option.

 

Still other tenants will immediately protest and resist the possibility of needing to move. This is especially common with tenants who have lived in a house or an apartment for a long period of time. It is these types of tenants that may necessitate trying to find only buyers who are willing to allow the current occupants to remain or waiting until their lease expires and giving them notice to vacate the premises. The landlord always has the option not to renew a lease. Judgment must be exercised as to when action, like not renewing a lease, is taken. Not renewing a lease should never be a first option and only undertaken when no other options are available.

 

In any case, tenants who continue to occupy a property while it is being shown for possible sale may be induced to conduct themselves in a way that best facilitates a sale, such as:

Keeping the property clean and tidy.
- Being hospitable or absent when the property is being shown.
- Agreeing to agree with the buyer's preferences for continued tenancy.
- Landlords may solicit agree-ability from tenants by offering incentives, such as:

- Reduced rent.
- Early termination of the lease if that is something the tenant desires.
- Other valuable service, such as offering to help them move or find a new place to live.
- Reassurance that owner will make best efforts to find the new owner who will continue to rent, if at all possible.

Unfortunately, tenants who have signed a lease, are up to date with their payments and are determined not to leave, can make things extremely difficult for property owners looking into selling Deer Creek homes for sale in Fargo, ND with tenants. A difficult tenant can purposely leave a home in a mess or cause damage. Even minor damage to a home can cause a major loss in confidence for a prospective home buyer. A confrontational tenant can be even worse. Confrontations between tenants antagonistic about moving and prospective buyers must be avoided at all costs.

 

With tenants under lease who are determined to make a property sale difficult the best option is often to wait for the lease to expire and, then not renew it.
