What we do
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.
Cash-for-keys is a voluntary move-out arrangement with an agreed payment. If a tenant moving out would work better for everyone, we can discuss whether that belongs in the plan; selling with tenants in place is also something we do.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, limited access, repairs, rent questions, or a difficult tenant conversation can all be part of the sale discussion. Tell us what is happening and what is making the property hard to sell; you can call before you have every answer.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
Tell us who is living there, what the lease says, how access works, the house condition, and what you are considering for timing. If handy, bring the lease and deposit records; you do not have to sort everything out before calling.
2. We put the offer and terms in writing
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Read the written offer and terms before deciding whether to accept.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
3. The title company handles the closing
The lease, occupancy, deposit records, and written sale terms shape the handoff. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

Texas lease, notice, possession, and security-deposit rules
A sale does not by itself cancel an active lease or make the tenants move out. If the property transfers while the lease is active, the buyer becomes the new landlord. Keep the lease and deposit records with the sale details so the handoff reflects the actual tenancy.
Texas Property Code §91.001 — month-to-month notice
For a month-to-month tenancy with monthly rent, either side can end it with notice. It ends on the later of the date stated in the notice or one month after the notice is given. A lease signed by both sides can set a different notice period.
Texas Property Code §92.105 — security deposits after a sale
From the day the new owner gets title, the new owner is responsible for returning the security deposit. The new owner must give each tenant a signed statement saying the property was bought, the new owner is responsible for the deposit, and the exact deposit amount.
You remain responsible for deposits you collected until the new owner receives them or takes over that responsibility, unless your written contract says otherwise. Have copies of every lease and deposit record ready; it is smart to credit the deposits to the buyer at closing.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Amarillo tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Amarillo house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can discuss selling with the tenants still in place. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease; the buyer becomes the new landlord if the property transfers while the lease is active.
Do I have to evict the tenants before selling to you?
You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place, and cash-for-keys can be discussed when that works better for everyone. The lease and applicable notice terms still matter.
What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?
The new owner is responsible for returning deposits from the day it gets title and must give each tenant a signed statement confirming the purchase, responsibility for the deposit, and the exact amount. You remain responsible for deposits you collected until the buyer receives them or takes over that responsibility, unless your written contract says otherwise.
Can a month-to-month tenancy be ended with notice?
For a month-to-month tenancy with monthly rent, either side can give notice. It ends on the later of the date in the notice or one month after notice is given. A lease signed by both sides can set a different notice period.
What should I have ready for a tenant-occupied sale?
If available, gather each lease, current rent and occupancy details, access limits, written tenant communications or notices, repair information, and the amount and holder of each security deposit. These details help make the written offer and closing handoff specific to the property.
How soon will I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You receive the written offer and written terms before you commit, with closing through a title company.
