The lease stays part of the sale
A sale generally does not cancel a current lease; the buyer takes over as landlord subject to it. Read Alabama Code §35-9A-141.
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.

What we do with a tenant-occupied house
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. Tell us about the property and tenancy.
We discuss the house as it stands, who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, and what repairs have been difficult to coordinate. If a tenant move-out may work better for everyone, we can talk about cash-for-keys alongside a sale with the tenants still there.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Alabama's deed tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Bring us the tenancy or access problem
Tell us about a lease, tenant access, repairs, or a move-out question. You can call while the tenants are still there, even if you have not worked out the possession plan. Not sure? Call us — we’ll sort it out with you.

Alabama leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
Alabama requires written notice before ending month-to-month and week-to-week tenancies, and sets a deadline for returning security deposits.
Notice for periodic tenancies
To end a month-to-month tenancy, written notice generally must be given at least 30 days before the periodic rental date named in the notice. A week-to-week tenancy generally takes at least seven days’ written notice. A fixed-term lease and other legal protections may require a different approach. Read Alabama Code §35-9A-441.
Security deposits and the closing handoff
Alabama security deposits generally cannot exceed one month’s rent. Extra amounts may be allowed for pets, changes to the home, or added liability risk.
Within 60 days after the tenancy ends and the tenant gives back possession, the landlord must mail the refund and an itemized account of lawful deductions. If the required refund or accounting is not mailed on time, the landlord can owe twice the original deposit. The holder of the landlord’s interest when the tenancy ends is bound by these rules, so transfer the deposits and rental records at closing. Read Alabama Code §35-9A-201.
Compare what you could keep
Compare your own sale-price and cost assumptions for an as-is sale or a listing. The estimate can help organize the numbers; it is not a property-specific offer. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

What happens to the security deposit when I sell?
Alabama generally limits a security deposit to one month’s rent, with specified exceptions. After the tenancy ends and the tenant gives back possession, the landlord must mail the refund and an itemized account of lawful deductions within 60 days. The landlord who holds the interest when the tenancy ends is bound by those rules, so the deposit and rental records are part of the closing handoff.
