Question about selling a house under lease to a section 8 tenant
I have a house that is currently under lease for 6 more months to a tenant on section 8. I just put the house on the market but am wondering what would happen if someone wanted to purchase the house as a personal property not a rental. Are there any special circumstances the I need to be aware of would the new purchaser have to take over the lease contract, would I need to give a certain amount of notice to the renter and so on. Never sold a house like this before any input would be greatly appreciated.
