My landlord is selling in NSW. Do I have to move?

Not without a valid notice: 90 days for a planned sale, 30 days once it is sold.

Your clock

• 90 days, 60 on terms up to 6 months: Planned sale
• 30 days: Already sold

The rule in NSW

• A lease can carry on after a sale. A sale cannot end a fixed term early.
• It needs proof, like the contract, and a sale needing vacant possession.
• Buyers: 14 days' written notice, then 2 visits a week at most, 48 hours' notice each.
• Advert photos: 7 days' notice, written consent to publish your things.

After a planned sale notice, they need approval to rent it out again within 6 months, unless it has sold.
