IX. Landlord sells the property with existing tenancy
   
When a landlord intends to sell a property that is let to
a tenant, the landlord should make it clear to the estate agent, the
solicitors and the potential purchaser that the property will be sold
subject to
a tenancy. The landlord should also notify the tenant about the intended
sale and properly deal with the deposit paid by the tenant.

- My property, which is currently let to a tenant, has risen in value and I intend to sell it. What do I need to do to discharge myself from any liability under the tenancy before selling the property?
- My landlord has informed me that the property I am renting was sold recently. I was also told to pay rent to the new landlord on the next due date. Can I object? Will my interests under the “old” tenancy be protected?
