How do I sell a tenant-occupied property?

Tenant-occupied sales require navigating lease survival rules, showing restrictions, and buyer expectations. In New York, existing leases survive a sale - the buyer inherits all tenant rights. Coordinate showings around tenant schedules and provide required notice before entry. Market to investors who understand rental income, or time the sale to align with lease expiration for owner-occupant buyers.
