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.
Sometimes keeping the tenants in place is the right handoff. In other situations, helping tenants move may work better for everyone, and a cash-for-keys conversation can be part of the sale discussion. You can tell us which situation you are considering.

Texas lease, notice, possession, and security-deposit rules
A sale does not by itself cancel an active lease. If the buyer takes title while the lease is active, the buyer becomes the new landlord. The lease, occupancy, and written agreements shape what happens next.
Texas Property Code §91.001 — notice for month-to-month tenancies
If rent is monthly and the tenancy is month-to-month, either side can end it with notice. It ends on the later of the date stated in the notice or one month after notice is given. A lease signed by both sides can set a different notice period. Selling the house does not itself give notice or set a move-out date.
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 it bought the property, is responsible for the deposit, and stating the exact dollar 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. Keep copies of every lease and deposit record; it is smart to credit the deposits to the buyer at closing.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Corpus Christi tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Corpus Christi house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can discuss selling while the tenants are still there. A sale does not by itself cancel an active lease; if the buyer takes title while the lease is active, the buyer becomes the new landlord.
Do I have to evict before selling to USA Home Buyers?
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.
What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?
From the day the new owner gets title, the new owner is responsible for returning the security deposit and must give each tenant a signed statement confirming the purchase, responsibility for the deposit, and the exact dollar 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.
Does selling end a month-to-month tenancy?
No. A sale does not by itself end the tenancy. For a month-to-month tenancy with monthly rent, either side can end it with 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 before we talk?
Nothing has to be perfect. If available, have the address, lease, rent and deposit records, occupancy and access details, repair concerns, tenant communications, and the timing you are considering.
