What happens if the owner wants to sell the property?
You will be advised if the owner is going to put the property on the market for sale. If sold, and you are on a Periodic Tenancy, you may be given notice to vacate if the new owner wants vacant possession. You can also choose to vacate yourself with the usual notice. You cannot be asked to leave if you are on a Fixed-Term Tenancy until the end of the fixed period. If sold to an investor, they will likely be happy with you continuing your tenancy under your current terms and conditions.
