Selling my properties - what do I tell my tenants?

I am selling my SFR rental properties and just got under contract. We will have inspections then appraisals. I need to obviously get these scheduled with the tenants. Just not sure if I should be up front or try to hold off. What have you done?

Hey @Tony Castronovo, as @Vijaianand Thirunageswaram mentioned you will need to give them the 30 ay notice if needed. If you are feeling that ethically you should tell them in advance, then there is obviously nothing wrong with telling the tenant that you are looking into selling the property. Until you are more sure that it will go through you could just tell them that is not a solid plan yet and that you just wanted them to be aware of what was going on. 

Tenants usually react in one of two ways. 1) They will want to leave. They may start looking for a place. They may even find one and want to move. If their lease doesn't let them, then you don't have to let them go. 2) They may just stay and see what happens. I find their choice really depends on how difficult it is to find housing in the area.
