Selling a rental property in Calgary doesn’t mean tenants are automatically asked to leave. 🏡

Most sales actually keep the tenancy in place, with the new buyer stepping into the landlord’s role. Whether the lease is month-to-month or fixed-term makes a big difference, only certain scenarios let a landlord end the tenancy just because of a sale, and those require following proper steps. Vacant possession can’t be promised unless everything is handled according to the law.

Keeping communication clear and respectful is key during showings or when sharing updates. It helps avoid surprises and builds trust, especially since tenants have a right to peaceful enjoyment of the home. Consent for buyer visits or proper written notice is always the best practice. 🌱

Making sure all records, like the lease and security deposit details, are passed along is part of a smooth transition. The person buying the place takes on those responsibilities, so every detail matters.
