Alexandria, Louisiana · Rapides Parish · Tenant-occupied property
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Alexandria and across Rapides Parish, Louisiana, including houses with tenants still living there. This landlord-exit benefit applies when you sell the property to us; you can start the conversation before the tenants move.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. Tell us what is happening with the tenancy, access, repairs, or timing.
What we do
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone.
If helping the tenants move may work better for everyone, tell us. We can discuss that possibility alongside a sale with the tenants still in place.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, limited access, repairs, or a difficult conversation with a tenant getting in the way? Tell us what is happening with the tenancy and the house. You do not have to resolve the tenant situation before talking with us.
Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what you want to work through.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
Tell us who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, what needs repair, what you know about rent and deposits, and the timing you are considering. Start with what you know.
2. You review a written cash offer and terms
We discuss the property and tenancy, then give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You can review the written price and terms before you decide.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
3. The title company reviews the closing and handoff
If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company. The lease, occupancy, and deposit details can be addressed in the written closing terms for this sale.

Louisiana leases, notice, and security deposits
A sale does not, by itself, end the agreement between the landlord and tenant. A recorded lease can bind a buyer, but the buyer does not automatically assume all of the seller's personal lease obligations. Those rights and obligations need to be addressed at closing. Have the leases and deposit records ready so the closing attorney can arrange the transfer correctly. See the 2026 Act 240 / SB 77 and its enrolled statutory text (effective August 1, 2026).
If you plan to end a month-to-month tenancy, Louisiana's basic notice rule is at least ten calendar days before the end of the month. For a residential house, the notice must be in writing. The lease and any other applicable protections can affect the answer. See Civil Code article 2728 on notice periods and article 2729 on written notice.
