First, you need to know that It is the right of the Landlord to sell his property whenever he chooses to do so.
It does not matter whether or not there are tenants in the property and It does not matter that they just renewed their tenancy or they are long-term tenants in the property.
He also does not need the permission of the tenants to sell his property.
While the landlord can sell at anytime, the New Buyer or the New Landlord cannot take possession at anytime just like that.
There are laws that govern the process for taking possession of a new property that have tenants staying there.
The sale of the property does not confer on the New landlord or the new owner the right to forcibly eject any tenant from the property.
The Rent you paid to the former Landlord still runs and can’t be terminated by the New Landlord for any reason.
At the expiration of your rent, You are entitled to 6 months Notice to Quit.
The New owner does not have the right to start breaking down the building or part of it, in order to inconvenient the tenants.
The New owner does not have right to intimidate you or abuse you verbally for any reason.
The new owner does not have the right to Physically assault you or bring some thugs to threaten you to pack out.
If the New owner or Landlord, Goes against any of this law stated above.
Feel free as a Tenant to Arrest the New Landlord and charge him to Court immediately
Let him come and tell the court who gave him the power to go against the law because he just buy new house.
Another case scenario are questions like
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR THE PACKING OF THE SOAK AWAY
THE LANDLORD OR THE TENANT’S?
This is a question that many people have sent to my inbox and i want to address it now, once and for all.
Under the Law, The landlord is expected to make sure that the property is in a habitable state for tenants to live in and The landlord also has the responsibility of ensuring that basic amenities are available and in order for tenants use.
Soak away is one of the Basic Amenities of the the Landlord’s Property, so therefore it is the Landlord’s responsibility to make sure it is in good condition.
Either the Landlord stays in the compound or not.
The law does not care.
And refusal of the Landlord to put the Soak Away in order gives the Tenant the right to file a Suit against the Landlord to return the money they paid for Rent.
If the Landlord is found Guilty of the allegations , the Court will order him to return the tenants Rent in full
Ignorance of the law is not an excuse
This also apply to repair of the house or fixing water pumping machine
Ignorance of the Law is not an excuse.
