Can a tenant continue to rent when the landlord transfers the rented house to another owner?

Pursuant to Article 28 of the 2014 Law on Real Estate Business, the rights of tenants of houses and construction works are stipulated as follows:

“1. Require the lessor to deliver the house and construction works as agreed in the contract.

2. Require the lessor to provide complete and honest information about the house and construction.

3. The house or construction being rented may be exchanged with another tenant if the lessor agrees in writing.

4. Subletting part or all of the house or construction works if agreed in the contract or agreed in writing by the lessor.

5. Continued lease under the terms agreed with the lessor in case of change of ownership.

6. Request the lessor to repair the house or construction in case the house or construction is damaged not due to the lessee's fault.

7. Require the lessor to compensate for damages caused by the lessor's fault.

8. Unilaterally terminate the contract performance according to the provisions of Clause 2, Article 30 of this Law.

9. Other rights in the contract”.

According to the above provisions, the tenant can continue to rent under the terms agreed with the landlord in case of change of ownership.

Thus, in case the lessor transfers ownership of the house to another person, the tenant can continue to rent according to the terms agreed with the lessor.
