SELL A FLAT WITH A TENANT INSIDE
Before selling an apartment with a tenant still living inside, it is necessary to decide if the house is going to be delivered to the buyer free of tenants with the rental contract in force.
It is very important to know this since the owner must reach an agreement with the tenant so that he leaves the house in case the contract is in force and there is still a deadline left.
The tenant is not obliged in any case to leave the house while the contract is in force and he complies with his obligations, so it is essential to meet and inform him to obtain his collaboration.
In the event that your objective is to sell the apartment with a tenant and that the new owner enjoys the monthly profitability, this must be registered both in the purchase contract and in the deed of sale before a notary.

CAN I SELL A RENTED APARTMENT?
One of the most frequent doubts of those who have a rented house is whether they can sell it while the lease is in force.
And the answer is yes, since there is no legal limitation that prevents it. In fact, the sale of the leased property is regulated in Article 14 of the Urban Leasing Law (LAU), which was drafted by Royal Decree-Law 7/2019, of March 1, on urgent measures regarding housing and rent.
However, there are several factors to take into account in order to carry out the operation successfully and avoid future problems when it comes to sell a flat with a tenant. In general terms, it is recommended that the owner notify both the tenant and the potential buyer of his intention to sell the property and leave all agreements in writing.
HOW CAN YOU SELL A RENTED APARTMENT?
The most important thing is to check if the lease of the apartment that we want to sell includes the clause of right of first refusal and withdrawal by the tenant.
In the event that the tenant has the right of first refusal to withdraw, the first must be reliably informed of the owner's intention to sell the home and the conditions of sale, especially the price.
The tenant will have a period (30 days) to respond if he finally exercises his right and buys the apartment, or if he finally does not buy.
In the event that the tenant does not buy the apartment, the sale can now proceed with all the guarantees.
Although that is as important as the tenant authorizing the entry of potential buyers who wish to visit the home to make a decision.
The tenant can oppose the entry to the house during the duration of the contract, it is his right, so it would be convenient to discuss it and reach an agreement for the parties that does not cause any harm to anyone.
WHAT HAPPENS IF MY LANDLORD WANTS TO SELL THE APARTMENT?
The owner of a flat has the right to sell it. But if the apartment is rented, the tenant has the rights to it.
First of all, you have to check if you have a preferential right of first refusal over the house, which is reflected in the rental contract.
It is important that you review the contract carefully and read all the clauses, and seek the advice of a professional if you see it as necessary.
But there are two things you should keep in mind as a tenant so you don't make two mistakes.
These are two very common mistakes that sellers make and that poorly advised tenants often allow.
- force the tenant to be able make visits with potential buyers (can't be forced)
- notify the tenant that The rent ends because the apartment is going to be sold.
We are struck by the number of people who are looking for a rental apartment because their landlord has told them that he wants to sell the apartment and, therefore, they must end the rental contract. In no case is this the case and the tenants can continue in the apartment until after the sale. Although from that moment there may be different situations.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS TO SELL A RENTED APARTMENT
Can I sell an apartment that I have rented?
Yes, although the process is somewhat different from selling an apartment that is not rented and you must respect the tenant's right of first refusal, if they have one.
Can I evict my tenant to be able to sell the apartment that I have rented?
No, the rental agreement is still in force and cannot be terminated for that reason.
Can I force my tenant to visit potential buyers of the apartment?
No, the Spanish constitution establishes the inviolability of the home, and it would apply in this case.
How do I notify my tenant that I am going to sell the apartment?
The best thing is that you do it by burofax or by other means of reliable notification that the notary can accept.
What happens if I sell the apartment at a lower price than the one notified to the tenant?
That he could exercise the right of withdrawal, so you must notify the tenant again of the final conditions of the operation in case he is interested in exercising his preferential right to purchase under those conditions.
My landlord wants to sell the apartment I live in, what can I do?
You must check in your rental contract if you have a preferential right to purchase and that if the rental contract is after March 6, 2019, the new owner must respect the contract. If you have the right of first refusal, analyze whether you are more interested in owning or renting. In no case can the owner kick you out of the apartment before the end of the contract or force you to visit potential buyers.
