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.
If coordinating access or repairs around the tenants has become difficult, tell us what is happening. We can discuss a sale with the tenants in place or talk through a move-out arrangement when that works better for everyone.
Bring us the tenancy or access problem
A lease question, access that is hard to arrange, repairs that keep getting put off, or a tenant move-out conversation? Call us and explain what is happening. You do not have to settle the tenancy before asking about selling the house.
Call 888-274-5006 to talk it through.
What happens next
1. We discuss the house and tenancy
We talk about the Dyersburg address, who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the house condition, and the timing you have in mind.
2. We review the property and put the offer in writing
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can review the written offer and terms before deciding whether to proceed.
3. We discuss the lease and closing handoff
If you choose to sell, we discuss the occupancy, lease, access, and security-deposit handoff as part of the written terms. Closing is through a title company.
Local help with rental and code questions
Dyersburg city and Dyer County are separate mapped jurisdictions, so a Dyersburg address alone does not show whether a property is inside the city or which office handles it. Dyer County Building & Zoning lists County permits and complaints about overgrown yards, abandoned vehicles, junk, and debris. For a city property, ask the City of Dyersburg which office handles a rental or code question.
Dyer County Building & Zoning
The County lists permits for specified construction work and property-cleanup complaint information. Confirm with the office that it covers the property and issue.
Tennessee leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
Yes, you can sell a Tennessee rental with tenants still living there. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease. The buyer takes the house subject to the lease and becomes the new landlord.
Tennessee's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act applies only in counties that had more than 75,000 people in the 2010 census. Where the Act applies, ending a month-to-month tenancy 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. A fixed-term lease and other legal protections may require a different approach.
A notice period is not a move-out date. If you want the house vacant, the lease and applicable possession process matter; selling the house with the tenant still there does not itself end the tenancy.
Where the Act applies, the landlord must keep a tenant's security deposit in an account used only for deposits and tell the tenant where it is held. Unless agreed otherwise, a seller who sells in good faith is released from later lease events only after the tenant receives written notice of the sale and the deposit is transferred to the buyer. We can discuss the lease and deposit handoff as part of the sale.
