How Tenanted Properties Affect Your Purchase

Rented homes for sale in New Westminster include houses, suites, and multi-unit properties currently occupied by a tenant under an active residential tenancy agreement.

Before booking a showing, confirm the current tenant's lease terms, monthly rental rate, and whether the tenancy is fixed-term or month-to-month. Review the residential tenancy act obligations that transfer to you as the new landlord at closing. Ask your realtor for the full tenancy agreement, and factor notice to end tenancy timelines into your possession date. If you plan to occupy the property, understand the minimum of 12 months requirement before serving notice to the tenant under tenancy law.

Buyers acquiring an investment property should compare the existing rental unit income against market rents before making an offer — a below-market tenancy can affect financing and return calculations. Sellers of a tenanted property should disclose the full tenancy details upfront and price to reflect the landlord and tenant situation clearly.
