What rights do I have if my rented home is being sold by a receiver?

A RentWise Team Answered by

A receivership sale does not automatically end your tenancy, and a buyer generally takes over the landlord’s responsibilities under the existing tenancy. Keep paying rent as agreed, but verify any new payment instructions independently and ask for the receiver’s or purchaser’s contact details in writing. You should not be forced to leave without a legally valid notice of termination, and a fixed-term tenancy may provide additional protection. The landlord or receiver must also follow the rules on access and property viewings. If there is a dispute about your tenancy or notice, you can seek information from the RTB or consult a solicitor; the outcome depends on the facts of your case.
