SELL A LEASED PROPERTY. ALL ABOUT THE RIGHT OF ACCESS
You want to sell your property but it is rented? No panic, it is quite possible. The same if your accommodation is rented and you want to put it back in rental without wasting time.
However, there must be a clause in the lease that states that the owner – or his representative – has access to the property when it is for sale or when the current tenant has given leave.
The conditions for these visits must be agreed between the lessor and the lessee. Knowing that an owner cannot require the tenant to visit on a public holiday, Sunday or for more than 2 hours on working days. He must also notify the tenant in advance.
In the vast majority of cases, the tenant is conciliatory and agrees to open the door to show the property. If, however, your tenant does not give a favourable response to your requests for visits made during verbal exchanges or in writing with acknowledgement of receipt, you may then initiate legal proceedings to claim damages for the delay caused by the tenant’s behaviour in the sale process.
In any case, it is absolutely necessary to make the approach in good intelligence, try to discuss and convince in order to find a solution quickly.
And remember that in the case of a sale, the tenant in place has a right of pre-emption. He has two months to give his response on whether or not he wants to buy.
