Selling property before lease ends
Hi all,
landlord here in Massachusetts. I'm considering selling my property that I rent out but am in a lease with my tenant until next March. Is it legal for me to break it early if I'm selling? Any feedback or tips?
thank you in advance!

No, you cannot break the lease unilaterally because you want to sell the property. The tenant’s lease gives them protection from this scenario. If they are tenants at will, you can provide notice and have them move out.
