Should I sell my Sutherland multi-family with tenants in place?

Selling with tenants in place usually works well in Sutherland if the leases are current and documented, since an investor buyer can underwrite existing rental income immediately rather than budgeting for 30 to 60 days of vacancy while re-tenanting the property.

The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 governs how those leases transfer to a new owner, so confirm the rent roll matches what tenants are actually paying before you list, not after a buyer's lender asks for it.

If a unit is unpermitted, its rent generally cannot be underwritten the same way a legal suite's can, which means a tenant-occupied unpermitted space may add less value than the rent itself suggests.

Documentation, not occupancy alone, is what makes a tenanted sale work. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
