In this episode of The Real Estate Podcast, we dive into the complexities of selling a tenanted property, especially in Ontario, where laws heavily favour tenants. From dealing with below-market rents to strategies for cooperation, we walk through everything sellers need to know. Whether you’re a landlord, investor, or realtor, this episode offers practical advice on navigating tenant-occupied sales for a smoother and more profitable experience.
Don’t miss Part 2 next week, where we tackle the buyer’s perspective when purchasing tenanted properties!
