When there is a change of the landlord due to sale of property or assignment of the AST tenancy agreement through Open Rent do you issue a new Tenancy Agreement or give the tenant a Context notice 3 and 48 and this would sufice without issuing a new tenancy agreement and what do you do about the security deposit and the Rent and Legal Protection Insurance
You have to get your own insurance.
@mod_harry can tell you how deposit can be transferred if that’s needed or how to get your details as LL to replace those of the previous LL with the tenancy deposit service they use. If old LL want to claim part of deposit easiest to end TA and start a new one
Good luck
You do not need to sign a new tenancy. The form 3 notice you mention will suffice.
Make sure your solictors seeks clarification about deposit etc from te sellers solicitor.
I assume you will have done all of the due diligence to make sure the old Landlord has correctly complied with all laws upo the start of the tenancy etc.
