Hi
I have a house rented in a midland town to a tenant.
If i want to end the tenancy does it have to be in order to sell or move in?
If it's to sell and I provide 4 months notice and tenant moves out earlier than expected am I allowed to change my mind and not sell and rent at whatever rent I wish to charge( current rent 30% below market levels)
Thanks

The RTB website has some guidance, but regulations around ending a tenancy are the same within or outside the RPZs.
Changing your mind could be problematic, you need to make a statutory declaration that you will follow through with the sale. Why not just increase the rent?
Thanks guys
I did a stat declaration a month ago
If my personal circumstances change between signing it and proposed date to put house on market and I decide not to sell and my tenant has moved out( she’s moving next week) is there a problem
With me re-renting to someone else?

If you let it again without even putting it on the market for a time, you open yourself up to action unless the change in your circumstances is real and significant. If you're looking to re-let it immediately or shortly after the previous tenant has moved out, the RTB are unlikely to take a sympathetic view. It's up to 3 months in prison for making a false statutory declaration!
