Not Necessarily a Scam:
Legal Right to Sell: The landlord has the legal right to sell the property even if there's an ongoing tenancy agreement. They are not obligated to inform you of their future plans at the beginning of the lease.
Tenancy Protection: Your tenancy agreement is still valid, and the new owner (if the property sells) is bound by its terms until the lease expires. This means you cannot be forced out before the agreed-upon date.
Diplomatic Clause: Many tenancy agreements include a "diplomatic clause," which allows for early termination under certain conditions, usually with a penalty.
Check your agreement to see if this applies.
Potential Issues:
Inconvenience: The uncertainty of the landlord's plans can be disruptive and inconvenient for you.
Showings: The landlord might need to arrange viewings for potential buyers, which could be intrusive.
Relationship Breakdown: If the relationship with the landlord becomes strained, it could make the remaining tenancy period unpleasant.
What You Can Do:
Review Your Tenancy Agreement: Carefully examine the agreement for clauses regarding early termination, sale of the property, and access for viewings.
Communicate with the Landlord: Have an open conversation with the landlord to understand their timeline and expectations. Try to establish a clear understanding regarding viewings and how they will be conducted.
Negotiate: If you feel uncomfortable with the situation, try to negotiate with the landlord. You could ask for a rent reduction, early termination without penalty, or other concessions to compensate for the inconvenience.
Legal Recourse (Last Resort): If the landlord breaches the tenancy agreement or their actions cause significant hardship, you can seek legal advice or mediation through the Small Claims Tribunal.
Important Note: Document all communication with the landlord and keep a record of any disruptions caused by the sale process. This will be helpful if you need to escalate the matter.
While the situation might not be a scam, it's definitely not ideal. Open communication, understanding your rights, and potentially seeking professional advice can help you navigate this situation smoothly
