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.

If a tenant move-out may work better for everyone, tell us. We can talk through whether a cash-for-keys arrangement fits the situation and what written terms would need to say.

We buy the house as it stands. You do not have to repair, clean, or clear it out to sell to us.

Bring us the tenancy, access, or repair problem

Tell us who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, what needs repair, and what you want to happen next. Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above. Start with what you know; you do not need to settle every tenancy question before talking with us.

Local help for a Daphne rental

Daphne is in Baldwin County, but first confirm whether the property is inside the City of Daphne. City offices and ordinances apply to the city, not every Baldwin County address.

City of Daphne Building Inspection

For a building inspection or related city code question, start with the City of Daphne's Building Inspection information. The city also publishes its ordinances. Confirm the property's city jurisdiction and the right office for your specific question.

Baldwin County Probate Office — recording

The Probate Office's recording information is a county starting point for recorded deed and property-document questions connected to a sale. It is not the office that decides a lease or tenant's rights.

Alabama leases, notice, possession, and security deposits

Yes, you can sell an Alabama rental with tenants in it. A sale generally does not cancel the lease; the buyer takes over as landlord subject to it. The tenants do not have to move just because the house sells. See Alabama Code §35-9A-141 for the state's landlord and rental-agreement definitions.

The lease and possession

The lease remains part of the sale handoff. A sale by itself does not give you an empty house or set a tenant's move-out date. If you are considering ending a tenancy, the lease and the applicable notice and possession process still matter.

Security-deposit limit

Alabama generally limits a security deposit to one month's rent. The law allows additional amounts for pets, changes to the home, or added liability risk. Read Alabama Code §35-9A-201 for the security-deposit rule.

Deposit return and handoff

Within 60 days after the tenancy ends and the tenant gives back possession, the landlord must mail the deposit refund and an itemized account of lawful deductions. Failing to mail the refund or accounting on time can cost twice the original deposit.

The person holding the landlord's interest when the tenancy ends is bound by the rule. Account for the deposit and transfer the deposit and rental records at closing.

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. For a week-to-week tenancy, the general period is at least seven days. These are notice periods for ending a periodic tenancy, not an automatic move-out date caused by a sale.

A fixed-term lease and other legal protections may require a different approach. See Alabama Code §35-9A-441 for ending periodic tenancies.

Daphne tenant-occupied house questions

Can I sell my Daphne house while tenants are still living there?

Yes. You can sell with tenants still living there. A sale generally does not cancel the lease; the buyer takes over as landlord subject to it.

Do I have to evict before I call 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. Tell us about the property and tenancy.

What happens to the security deposit when I sell?

Account for the deposit and rental records at closing. Alabama generally requires the holder of the landlord’s interest when the tenancy ends to mail the refund and an itemized account of lawful deductions within 60 days after the tenancy ends and the tenant returns possession.

How much notice applies to a month-to-month or week-to-week tenancy?

Alabama generally requires written notice at least 30 days before the periodic rental date named in the notice for a month-to-month tenancy, and at least seven days for a week-to-week tenancy. A fixed-term lease or other tenant protections may call for a different approach.

When will I get a written cash offer?

We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
