Questions & Answers
The tenant is not cooperating with the sale of the property. What to do?
Dear Sir/Madam,
As landlords, we gave the tenant 12 months' notice to vacate the villa, which will be completed in another 2 months.
The regulations allow viewing with 24 hours notice, and we have documented this in our contract. However, the tenant is unwilling to cooperate on this matter.
We have agreed to sell the property to a buyer, and the valuation needs to be done in another 2 weeks so that the bank can approve the loan within the agreed period.
What should we do in this scenario?
The tenant could damage the property and leave without allowing us to view it until the last day. How can we recover the money from him in this situation, given that the deposit amount is very low?
If the sale does not go through, is it permissible for us to rent the property to another tenant, as the sale contract failed due to the existing tenant's non-cooperation?
Appreciate your advice!
Dear Client,
Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.
In this scenario, it's essential to follow the legal process. If the tenant is unwilling to cooperate, you can inform them of the 24-hour viewing notice as stated in the contract.
If they continue to obstruct, seek legal advice to understand your options.
Regarding recovering money, damages, or unpaid rent, you may need to pursue a case in the rental dispute settlement committee.
If the sale doesn't go through, you can consider renting the property again, but ensure all necessary legal requirements are met.
