LANDLORD’S SALE OF THE RENTAL UNIT
If your landlord voluntarily sells the rental unit that you live in, your legal rights as a
tenant are not changed. Tenants who have a rental agreement have the right to remain
through the end of the rental agreement under the same terms and conditions. The new
landlord may be able to end a periodic tenancy (for example, a month-to-month tenancy),
but only if allowed by law and after giving the tenant the required advance notice. The new
landlord’s ability to terminate the tenancy may be limited by the provisions of the Tenant
Protection Act of 2019, in that just cause to terminate the tenancy may be required (see
“Landlord’s notice to end a periodic tenancy,” pages 64-68).
The sale of the rental unit does not change the rights of the tenants to have their
security deposits refunded when they move. Pages 78-79 discuss the new landlord’s
responsibility for the tenants’ security deposits after the rental unit has been sold.
