How to Sell a Tenanted Property in WA

Selling With Tenants in Place? Here’s How to Do It Right

Thinking of selling your investment property, but not sure what to do about the tenants? You’re not alone.

At Perth Property Partners, we’ve helped countless landlords across Scarborough, Doubleview, Wembley Downs and surrounding suburbs sell with tenants in place — without stress, confusion, or legal missteps.

Here’s what you need to know.

Can You Sell a Property With Tenants in WA?

Yes — absolutely.

Under WA law, you’re allowed to sell a tenanted property, but there are specific rules you’ll need to follow. These include:

  • Giving sufficient notice for inspections or photography
  • Ensuring the tenant’s lease terms are honoured
  • Negotiating access for home opens
  • Being transparent with buyers about tenancy conditions

The key is communication and compliance — both with your tenant and your sales strategy.

Should You Sell Vacant or Tenanted?

That depends on your goals. Here’s a quick breakdown:

ScenarioSelling VacantSelling Tenanted
Higher presentation potential✅❌ (limited styling options)
Investor buyer appeal❌✅
Flexible access for opens✅⚠️ (must coordinate)
Rental income during sale❌✅

We’ll advise you on what’s best based on your buyer type, rental condition, and market demand.
