Can I Sell My Erlanger House With Tenants Still Living There?
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Yes. You can sell your Erlanger house while tenants still live there. Kentucky law lets the sale go through without tenant consent, and the buyer takes over as landlord under the continuing lease.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form to tell us about the lease, access, or repairs. We answer 24/7.
What we do
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.
Bring us the tenant situation
Is rent late, access difficult, or a repair becoming a problem? Tell us what is happening with the house and tenancy. We can talk through the lease, access, and repairs with you.
Call 888-274-5006.
What happens next
1. We talk through the house and lease
We discuss who lives there, the lease, the house's condition, access, and the handoff you have in mind. Start with what you know.
2. You review the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
3. We work through the tenant handoff and closing
We discuss how the lease, occupancy, deposit, and rent fit into the handoff. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax.

Kentucky leases, possession, and security deposits
The sale can go through without the tenant's consent. The lease continues, and the buyer takes over as landlord. A tenant who pays rent to you before receiving notice of the sale does not have to pay that rent again. When ownership changes, tell tenants in writing who the new owner is and where to pay. Read KRS 383.100 on selling a rented house and rent paid before notice.
Kentucky has no statewide rule for transferring a security deposit when a rental sells. In cities and counties that adopted Kentucky's landlord-tenant act, the deposit must be kept in a separate bank account. In those places, a seller who sells in good faith is relieved of liability for later events only after the tenant receives written notice of the sale. KRS 383.500 covers local adoption, KRS 383.580 covers deposit accounts, and KRS 383.600 covers the seller's liability after notice.
For a clean handoff, transfer the deposit and prorated rent to the buyer at closing, then tell each tenant in writing who holds the deposit.
The sale itself does not make the tenant move. If your goal is a vacant house, tell us what the lease says and what timing you have in mind; we can talk through the options.

Erlanger tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Erlanger house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place. Kentucky law lets the sale go through without tenant consent, and the buyer takes over as landlord under the continuing lease.
Do I have to evict tenants 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.
Does the tenant have to move when the house sells?
No. The sale does not end the lease or make the tenant move. The buyer takes over as landlord, and the tenant may remain under the lease terms.
What happens to the security deposit when I sell?
Kentucky has no statewide rule for transferring a deposit at sale. In places that adopted the state landlord-tenant act, a deposit must be kept in a separate bank account, and a good-faith seller is relieved of liability for later events only after the tenant receives written notice of the sale. Plan to transfer the deposit and prorated rent at closing and tell each tenant in writing who holds the deposit.
