text: is a lease considered void if the landlord puts the house up for sale? if you are currently in a lease and the landlord puts the house up for sale does this void your lease? not normally unless there's something in the lease to that effect.  a good lease would actually stipulate that the landlord had the right to put the property up for sale whilst you were still in it.  he can't force you out of the house if someone buys it, he can only force you out as per the terms of the lease - usually by giving you the requisite notice to quit or not renewing your lease when it expires.
