    What happens to the tenancy if the property is sold?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    The transfer of ownership to a new landlord does not terminate an existing Lease Contract. The tenant maintains the legal right to continue occupying the property under the same terms as the agreement signed with the previous owner. For this protection to apply, the lease must have a fixed date. This provides market stability, ensuring that tenants are not displaced by investor sales and that new owners must honor existing contractual obligations until the lease expires.
