Terrible idea.
If your selling, evict first. Otherwise you'll be ready to exchange and they won't move out.
- as a landlord u should know this.0 -
Even if you can advertise two months before the tenancy ends you still have to give the tenants notice (otherwise the fixed term contract just becomes a rolling one). If they want to be stubborn, they can refuse to allow the viewings and there's not a jot you can do about it as they have the right to "quiet enjoyment" of their home.
If they don't move out it willingly at the end of the notice it could take months to get them out (even if you have done everything correctly), so trying to sell with tenants in the property is a potential disaster waiting to happen.0 -
Have you considered having a chat with your tenants to see what they may deem acceptable?
To answer your questions directly... No, they don't have to allow access for viewings etc. But yes, you can market the property as per the contract. You could even market it sooner than the last 2 months, as long as it doesn't unduly disturb them.0 -
I hate posts like this.
in other words you are a landlord who had no idea what tenancy agreement you had in place until an issue arose and you 'looked'.......Hi
I was just looking for some information for when my tenants agreed term to comes to and end
Ive re read the contract and it states ....
Ah well, now to your question.
1) What happens after 2 months? Read:
* Ending/renewing an AST: what happens when a fixed term ends? How can a LL or tenant end a tenancy? What is a periodic tenancy?
2) how /when can you evict? Read:
* Ending/renewing an AST: what happens when a fixed term ends? How can a LL or tenant end a tenancy? What is a periodic tenancy?
3) When can you adverise? Whenever you like.
4) when can you show agents/buyers etc round? Within the last 2 months (according to your lease) after giving the tenants 24 hours written notice, or at any time with their consent
5) what should you do? Bear in mind the tenants may not leave when you want. So you may be ready to sell, but still have tenants.....
And bear in mind buyers may know this so be put off by a tenanted property (I would be).
So get vacant possession and THEN advertise, after cleaning touching up the property.

I'm still baffled trying to find the bit where anyone pointed out issues with spelling?
The only thing I can see close is people mentioning 'selling' which is obviously quite different...
Did I miss something?0
