Sell a Rental With Tenants
Selling an occupied rental property, especially with a difficult tenant situation, narrows your options fast with a traditional buyer. We buy rental properties as-is, tenants and all.
Quick Facts
- •California landlord-tenant law generally requires advance written notice before entering an occupied rental, even to show it for sale.
- •A cash-for-keys agreement pays a tenant to move out voluntarily and can be faster than a formal eviction.
- •You can sell a rental with a tenant still in place, the buyer takes over as the new landlord under the existing lease.
- •A property with a difficult tenant situation often scares off traditional buyers who plan to move in themselves.
- •We buy occupied rentals regularly and handle the tenant situation after closing.
