During Xiaoming's renting, the landlord sold the house. According to the provisions of China's Civil Code, can Xiao Ming continue to rent this house?

According to the lease contract, Xiaoming has the right to continue renting the house before it expires, unless the original owner gives some compensation or the original owner communicates well with the current owner. If Xiaoming is not compensated, the original owner may breach the contract.

Article 725 of the Civil Code stipulates that according to the lease contract, if the ownership of the leased property changes during the lessee's possession, the validity of the lease contract will not be affected.

If one party fails to perform the contractual obligations or fails to meet the contractual obligations, it shall be liable for breach of contract, such as continuing to perform, taking remedial measures or compensating for losses.

Liability for breach of contract for failure to pay the price: if one party fails to pay the price or remuneration, the other party may require it to pay the price or remuneration.

Article 734 of the Civil Code stipulates that upon the expiration of the lease term, the lessee shall have the priority to lease under the same conditions.

Precautions for renting a house:

First of all, it depends on whether the owner of the house has the right to rent. For example, if the lessor is not the owner himself, it is necessary to verify the original information such as his ID card, household registration book and power of attorney.

Avoid someone pretending to be the landlord to defraud your rent. Secondly, you should keep a copy of the lessor's ID card, a copy of the house title certificate or a power of attorney to avoid being ignorant of the landlord's information in case of disputes in the future.

In addition, the standard of rent and the agreement of lease period must be clearly written in the contract, and don't trust verbal promises. Facts have proved that people who believe in verbal promises have suffered losses and been cheated.

Finally, before moving in, we must check with the landlord the status of indoor furniture, household appliances and other supplies to ensure the normal use of furniture, household appliances and other facilities and equipment, and register the value of water cards, electricity cards and gas cards and the payment of property fees, which will be signed by both parties after the handover.
