Can my landlord sell the house I'm renting?
I'm 6 months into a year lease on a house in Florida. Ever since we signed the lease, our landlord has given us a hard time about every little thing. She now wants to put the house on the market. Are we required to let her show the house to potential buyers? It says nothing about this in our lease. It only says we have to let her in for repairs and a yearly inspection. Help.

as stated above the year lease will transfer with the house to the new owners who will have to honor the lease

As toward showing, while the lease may not address the issue I am sure Florida statute has a clause allowing the owner to show your single family to prospective buyers with reasonable notice, now the reasonable notice usually requires 24 notice as well the frequency and times are usually normal business hours m-f 9 to 5

while your lease is a temporary transfer of certain property rights to you from landlord, the landlord retains certain rights one of them is the ability to sell the unit

Two causes of action could be leveled against you if you intentionally interfere with the sell of the house

The first will be eviction for not allowing reasonable notice to show the house, while not in your lease every state has a statute allowing the owner to sell a rental, within in that right is the right to show it

the second while unlikely can be a tort action for intentional interference with a business transaction

Hi there are very many legal rights to protect tennants and a lawyer would be the best to talk these over with.

I do know that your landlord can evict you under circumstances such as Renovationg or selling or if he is going to be living in the home for himself.

He will have to send you a legal written letter giving you 3 months notice of the eviction.Usually sent by fe ex or the such to be able to prove that you recieved it.

You are obligated to show the home but your rights are that any agent or person showing the home must provide you with 24 or 48 hours notice ( I forget which one) If insufficient notice is provided or demanded you don't have to comply with showing the home.

A contract/real estate lawyer will be the best one for discussing the breaking of the lease and your rights on that matter since after all the lease is a form of a legal contract and this contract is dealing with real estate.

Also please note these are canadian laws. The US could be a little different.

No. If you signed a year lease that does not specify this you should have the right to refuse to show it. I would consult legal council on this.

Here is some additional info. Hope this helps.

You are under no obligation to show the house, unless it is in your lease. Additionally, whoever purchases the house must agree to honor the lease, or else your current landlord must pay you restitution.

Yes, she can sell it, however I believe she would still have to give you proper notice of entry, which is usually 24 hours.

Your landlord can sell the house. Rental laws vary from state to state, but normally you would need to give them permission to enter the property for a showing. You may want to check the Florida Tenant Laws to find out if the Lease runs with the building, or terminates if the property is conveyed (every state is different).


MLaw
What Wango says. Bear in mind that we have not SEEN the lease & his answer is based on your conclusion about its contents & meaning. You should bring the actual lease to a local attorney for a definitive opinion.


Oracle
I believe that your landlord is required to uphold the year lease as well as you unless of course she gives you an eviction notice. If she does you can absolutely fight it. If you do not agree to let her show your rental home, I believe it is your right to do so until the lease is up. I would suggest that you put everything in writing to her about your decision and keep a copy for yourself.
