What are the rights of tenants when a landlord sells a rental property?

In New Hampshire, tenants have several rights when a landlord is selling a rental property. Tenants are entitled to receive notice from the landlord prior to the sale. The notice should include information about the buyer, the sale date, and whether the new landlord will be taking over the existing lease or if the tenant will need to vacate the property. If the new landlord is taking over the existing lease, the tenant is not required to sign a new one. However, the tenant will have to follow the new landlord’s rules and regulations. Tenants have the right to be compensated for any damage to the property caused by the sale. If there are any changes to the terms of the lease, such as a change in the rental price, the tenant can negotiate with the landlord to come to an agreement. Finally, tenants have the right to be protected from any disruption that might arise from the sale of the property. The landlord is responsible for ensuring that all necessary repairs are taken care of before the sale. The landlord is also required to maintain the property while it is up for sale. If the tenant experiences any issues or problems due to the sale, they should contact the landlord immediately and work to find a resolution.
