Selling an Occupied Rental in Merced
A sale does not end a lease. In Merced, 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 Merced.

Rental With Tenants in Merced: Common Questions
Do I need to evict my Merced tenant before selling?
No. We buy occupied rentals and take over the situation after closing.

Yes. Problem tenants and unpaid rent are common reasons landlords sell to us. We price the situation in.
