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 do not have to turn the house over or arrange repairs before asking about a sale.

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 a move-out arrangement may work better for everyone, tell us and we can discuss cash-for-keys as one option. We can also talk through selling with the tenants in place.

Bring us the tenancy, access, or repair problem

A lease you are unsure how to handle, access that is hard to arrange, repairs that keep getting put off, or a move-out conversation? Call and explain what is happening. Start with what you know; you do not need to solve the tenancy before asking about a sale.

What happens next

  1. 1. We discuss the house and tenancy

    Tell us the address, who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, what repairs are needed, and the timing you have in mind. If you have the lease, deposit records, or tenant communications nearby, those details can help the conversation.

  2. 2. We put the offer and terms in writing

    We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can review the written offer and written terms before you commit.

    If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company. The lease, occupancy, access arrangements, and security-deposit information are discussed as part of the sale and closing.

Local property and code help

If a City code notice or housing-inspection question is part of the rental situation, Clarksville Codes Enforcement publishes information about property-maintenance and environmental-regulation notices, complaint routes, and housing-inspection requests. Confirm that the City office covers the property address and follow the contact details on the notice.

For county property-assessment or recorded-document questions, use the Montgomery County Assessor of Property or Register of Deeds.

Tennessee leases, notice, possession, and security deposits

Yes, you can sell with tenants in place. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease; the buyer takes the house subject to the lease and becomes the new landlord. The Tennessee Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act covers counties that exceeded 75,000 people in the 2010 census. Montgomery County exceeded that threshold, so the Act applies to Clarksville and Montgomery County rentals. Read the Tennessee law’s coverage amendment.

Notice and possession

In Montgomery County, ending a month-to-month tenancy under the Act takes written notice at least 30 days before the rent date named in the notice. A week-to-week tenancy takes at least 10 days’ written notice (Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-28-512). A fixed-term lease and other applicable protections may call for a different approach. A notice period is not a guaranteed move-out or sale date.

Security deposits and a sale

A Montgomery County landlord must keep a tenant’s security deposit in an account used only for deposits and tell the tenant where it is held (Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-28-301). For a good-faith sale, the seller is released from lease obligations for later events only after the tenant receives written notice of the sale and the deposit is transferred to the buyer, unless agreed otherwise (Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-28-305). Read the Tennessee sale-and-deposit provision. Keep the lease and deposit records available so notice and transfer can be addressed before closing.

Compare what you could keep

Use the Clarksville home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare your own listing assumptions with a written offer and estimated costs. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
