Can I sell my rental property with a tenant still living there?

Answered by Team Lorraine Mulligan Estate Agents in Lucan and Celbridge. Updated 30 October 2026.

Yes, you can sell a rental property with a tenant in situ in Ireland. However, this usually limits the buyer pool mainly to investors and may impact the achievable sale price depending on the rent level and lease terms.

Many landlords choose to sell with vacant possession where possible, as this opens the property to a wider range of buyers including families and first-time purchasers. Team Lorraine Mulligan can advise on the best strategy based on your property and tenancy situation.
