Baton Rouge, LA seller help · Tenant-occupied property
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Baton Rouge city and East Baton Rouge Parish, even with tenants still living there. Selling does not by itself end a lease.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. You can talk through the lease and occupancy before deciding what to do about possession.
Share the address and what you know about the lease, occupancy, access, repairs, and deposit records. Start with what you know; you do not have to solve the tenancy before calling.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Share the address, lease, occupancy, access, and timing.
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 what is making the rental hard to sell: a lease date, access limits, repairs, a deposit question, or uncertainty about who will be there at closing. We can discuss the house and tenancy together; you do not have to solve every issue before you call.
Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening.
We talk through the Baton Rouge address, who lives there, what the lease says, access, the house’s condition, deposit records, and the timing you have in mind.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
If you choose to proceed, the written closing details can address the actual lease, occupancy, possession plan, and deposit records. The title company handles the closing; the sale itself does not cancel the tenant agreement.
The right office depends on the property and the question. City-Parish services have local service-area distinctions, so confirm which office handles an address rather than relying only on its mailing city.
The division lists residential and commercial improvement permits, code inspections, and code enforcement among its responsibilities. For a repair, inspection, or code question, start here and confirm that the office handles the property address. It does not decide lease or security-deposit questions.
The Clerk publishes a recording route for local land documents. If a recorded lease is part of the sale, the closing attorney can explain what it means for the transaction; the recording office is not a source of advice about a tenant’s rights or your specific lease.
A sale does not by itself cancel the landlord-tenant agreement. Keep the lease, notices, occupancy details, and deposit records together so the terms of the handoff can be discussed before closing.
A recorded lease can bind a buyer, but the buyer does not automatically assume every personal lease obligation of the seller. Those rights and obligations need to be addressed at closing. Act 240, which amended Civil Code articles 2681.1, 2711, and 2712, took effect August 1, 2026.
See the Act 240 bill record and its enrolled text for the current statutory language.
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. The lease and any other applicable protections can affect what applies, so do not use that basic period as a move-out date without checking the specific tenancy.
For a residential house, the notice to end a month-to-month tenancy must be in writing. Keep the notice and delivery records with the lease, and confirm the process for the actual tenancy before making a possession plan.
Have the leases and deposit records ready so the closing attorney can arrange the transfer correctly. Keep the deposit amount, who holds it, and tenant communications with those records. Address the deposit and related lease obligations in the closing details rather than assuming the sale settles them by itself.
A sale by itself is not a move-out date. If you want vacant possession, discuss the actual lease and written notice with a Louisiana attorney and put the agreed possession plan in the sale and closing terms. Do not assume a recorded lease ends just because ownership changes.
Yes. You can talk with us about selling while tenants are still there. A sale does not by itself end the landlord-tenant agreement, so the lease, occupancy, and handoff belong in the discussion.
No. You can call while the tenants are still living there. If you want the house vacant, the lease and Louisiana notice rules matter; selling the property by itself does not end the agreement.
