The buyer’s increase in the rent after purchasing a rented house
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man rents out his house for a known period and a known amount, and then sells this house to another person,
The Shaykh:
other than the study.
The questioner:
If a man rents out his house for a known period and a known amount, and then sells this house to another person, and some of the rental period remains, is it permissible for the buyer to increase the rent during this remaining period?
The Shaykh:
No. He has that right once the period has ended; he can say, “Either you leave, or you accept the increase.” But if some of the period remains, the buyer is not allowed to change the agreed amount in any way. The agreed amount remains as it is, with no increase. Yes.
