Sell a Rental Property With Tenants in Delano, CA
Tired of being a landlord in Delano? House Junkies buys occupied rentals, from single family houses to duplexes and small multi-family buildings, with the tenants still in place. No evictions, no repairs, and no showings that disrupt your tenants for months.
Delano is the second-largest city in Kern County and is historically significant as the birthplace of the United Farm Workers movement.
The city has two state prisons that are significant local employers.
Selling an Occupied Rental in Delano
A sale does not end a lease. In Delano, like everywhere in California, the buyer takes over as the landlord and the tenant's rights stay the same. Under California's Tenant Protection Act, many tenants who have lived in a unit for 12 months or more can only be asked to leave for a reason the law allows, and some no-fault move-outs require the owner to pay relocation help.
California also generally requires written notice before you enter an occupied rental, including to show it to buyers, which is one more reason listing an occupied rental is slow and hard.
Because we buy as-is with tenants in place, none of that has to happen before you sell. After closing, we either take over as landlord or work out a fair, voluntary move-out with the tenant. Read more on selling a rental with tenants, or see how we buy houses in Delano.
