You don't 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. We can talk through the house, lease, rent, access, condition, and timing while the tenancy is still in place.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
If a tenant move-out arrangement may work better for everyone, we can talk about that separately. The sale itself does not mean a tenant has agreed to move or has to leave.
Tell us what is happening with the lease, access, repairs, rent, or communication. Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through; you do not need to make a move-out decision before the conversation.
We talk about the El Centro address, who lives there, what the lease says, rent, access, repairs, notices, deposit records, and the timing you have in mind. Start with what you know; nothing has to be perfectly organized before you call.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the price and terms before deciding whether they work for you.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

For a property within El Centro, these City pages are starting points for housing and code questions. Confirm which office covers the address and the specific issue; code contacts do not determine what a lease allows or whether a tenant must move.
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease or set a tenant’s move-out date. Local rent and eviction rules may also apply. Keep the actual lease, occupancy details, deposit records, and tenant notices together for the sale discussion.
California Civil Code section 821 gives a buyer who takes property subject to an existing lease the same rights to collect rent and enforce that lease. For you, that means the sale alone is not tenant notice and does not set a move-out date. If possession needs to change, the lease and applicable notice and possession rules still matter.
Read California Civil Code section 821When your ownership ends, California Civil Code section 1950.5 gives you two choices for the remaining deposit after lawful deductions. You can transfer the balance to the buyer and notify the tenant by personal delivery or first-class mail. The notice must identify any claims against the deposit, the amount transferred, and the buyer’s name, address, and phone number.
Or, you can return the remaining deposit to the tenant with an itemized accounting. If the required transfer or return steps are skipped, the buyer can share liability for the deposit. Keep the deposit records and tenant notices with the lease for the closing discussion.
Read California Civil Code section 1950.5(i)–(k)California Civil Code section 1962 requires the new owner to give tenants contact information and where to pay rent within 15 days. Share the current lease, rent records, deposit details, and any written tenant notices so the closing can account for them.
Read California Civil Code section 1962Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in El Centro and Imperial County, including homes with tenants. A sale does not by itself end the lease; California Civil Code section 821 addresses the buyer’s rights under an existing rental agreement.
No. You can call and discuss a sale while tenants are in the house. Selling the property does not itself end the lease or set a move-out date, and local rent or eviction rules may also apply.
After lawful deductions, California law lets you transfer the remaining deposit to the buyer with the required tenant notice, or return the remaining amount with an itemized accounting. Keep the deposit records and tenant notices available for the closing discussion.
Tell us what you know about the address, lease, occupancy, rent, access, repairs, notices, deposit, and timing. If you have the lease and deposit records nearby, they can help with the conversation, but you can start with what you know.
