RENTAL ITEMS Posted onJanuary 21, 2021January 21, 2021 If you are selling your property, remember to advise your real estate agent and lawyer of any rental contracts that exist for your hot water tank, furnace, or any other chattel or fixture at the property. There are clauses that can be included in your agreement of purchase and sale that will ensure that the buyer of your property will be responsible for future rental payments of any rental items following closing. If you do not advise your real estate agent and lawyer you may be responsible for payments of rental items at the property following the closing of your sale.
