Q: I have a rental in Hillsboro I am planning to sell. Do I have to notify my tenant before I list it for sale?
Can I wait until I receive an offer contingent upon inspection to notify my tenant?
A: You don't have to notify the tenant at all, at least until it is time for them to pay their rent to a new owner. If, however, you intend to terminate the tenant's tenancy, then you do have hoops to jump through but even then, you have to have accepted an offer before giving the tenant's a 90 day no cause termination notice. There are a variety of requirements that may apply to that sort of situation, so if that turns out to be your situation, you may want to have a landlord-tenant attorney handle the notice and termination of tenancy procedures for you. Good luck.
