What to clarify before choosing a sale path
For a rental with tenants, the lease, deposits, access arrangements, property condition, and the owner’s plans for the tenancy all matter. The goal is to structure a sale comparison around the actual occupancy facts instead of assuming the property will be delivered vacant.
- Review the current lease and known tenant obligations before setting expectations.
- Plan showings or inspections around lawful access and practical communication.
- Account for deferred maintenance without promising a vacant-property process.
- Make the intended possession and closing terms clear in writing.
