The tenant's right to refuse visits of potential buyers without prior consent
I am the owner and have legally notified my tenant regarding my intention to sell and have given her first right of refusal.
But she is not signing nor allowing me access to arrange visits for other interested clients.
What are my rights / legal steps to force a viewing
Hello,
Thank you for your question.
In general, the landlord should obtain consent from the tenant, prior to arranging for a viewing of the property.
In most cases, a specified notice period is outlined in the tenancy contract, providing the notice time required before a landlord can bring a potential buyer to view the property.
For example, the tenancy contract may state that the landlord should give the tenant 24/48 hours notice prior to bring potential buyers to the premises for viewing.
If the tenancy contract does not specify a notice period, and you bring potential buyers to the property without notice, then the tenant has the right to potentially file a criminal case against you.
Should you require further tailored substantive legal advice or assistance with your matter, kindly contact my firm on our phone or email.
Kind regards,
Ludmila
