Can I sell my house in Calgary while a tenant is living in it?

Transcript

Can you sell your Calgary house while a tenant is living in it? Yes.

Actually, a lot of landlords don't realize this. In Alberta, selling doesn't end a tenancy. A fixed-term lease carries on to its end date, and a buyer would step in as the new landlord. A month-to-month tenancy continues until someone properly ends it.

So, you can list it, show it, and sell it with the tenant in place. The tenancy just has to be disclosed and dealt with in the contract.

The real question is who you're selling to: an investor who wants to rent, or a buyer who wants to move in. That decides everything else. My full guide to selling a tenanted property is linked below.
