Florence, AL seller help · Tenant-occupied property
Yes. You can sell your Florence house with tenants still living there. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Florence and throughout Lauderdale County, Alabama. A sale generally does not cancel the lease; the buyer takes over as landlord subject to it.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. Tell us what you know about the lease and house; you do not have to resolve the tenancy before you call.
Share the address and what you know about the lease, rent, deposit, access, repairs, and timing.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Share the address and the tenant situation.
We talk through who lives in the house, what the lease says, how access works, the rent and deposit balance, the house's condition, and the timing you are considering.
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 arrangement may work better for everyone, tell us. We can discuss whether cash-for-keys is worth talking through; you do not need to resolve that before contacting us.
Is the lease unclear, access hard to coordinate, or a repair waiting on the tenant? Tell us what is happening and what you know about occupancy. Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above to start the conversation.
Tell us the Florence address, who lives there, the lease term, rent and deposit details, access, repairs, and timing. Start with what you know; you can call before every detail is settled.
You can read the proposed price and written terms before deciding whether to move ahead. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
Keep the lease, rent information, deposit balance, who holds the deposit, and tenant communications together for the closing discussion. The written terms can account for the occupied house and the agreed handoff.
Check the property's actual jurisdiction before relying on a city office. Florence is in Lauderdale County, but a mailing address alone does not establish that a property is inside the incorporated city. These offices handle building or land-record questions, not lease or tenant-rights decisions.
For a property inside Florence city limits, contact the Building Department about permits, inspections, and property-maintenance or code questions. The office is at 110 West College Street, Suite 216, Florence, AL 35630; phone (256) 760-6325. Confirm the address and current requirements with the City.
The Probate Office is a local route for probate and recording questions. It is at 200 South Court Street, Florence, AL 35630; Probate Court phone (256) 760-5804 and Recording Department phone (256) 760-5800. Ask which office handles a specific filing.
See the county's recording information and costs; confirm current charges with the office.
Yes, you can sell a rented house with tenants in place. A sale generally does not cancel the lease: the buyer takes over as landlord subject to it. The sale alone does not mean tenants have to move or give the buyer immediate possession.
An existing lease continues to matter after a sale. The buyer takes over as landlord subject to that agreement, so account for the lease and occupancy in the handoff. A fixed-term lease or other legal protections may require a different approach from ending a periodic tenancy.
If you want to end a month-to-month tenancy, Alabama generally requires written notice at least 30 days before the periodic rental date named in the notice. A week-to-week tenancy generally takes at least seven days' written notice. Selling the house by itself is not notice to move.
A security deposit generally cannot exceed one month's rent. The law allows extra amounts for pets, changes to the home, or added liability risk.
Within 60 days after the tenancy ends and the tenant gives back possession, the landlord must mail the refund and an itemized account of lawful deductions. Missing that deadline can make the landlord owe twice the original deposit.
The holder of the landlord's interest when the tenancy ends is bound by these deposit rules. Account for the deposit balance and transfer the rental records as part of closing.
