Can I Sell My Gladstone House With Tenants Still Living There?
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Yes, you can sell while tenants still live in the house. We buy houses with tenants in place.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. Tell us what is happening with the lease, occupancy, access, or repairs.
What we do
We buy Gladstone houses with tenants still living there. 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 problem
Is the lease ending soon, is access hard to arrange, or do repairs need attention? Tell us what is happening with the house and tenancy. We can talk it through with you.
Call 888-274-5006.
What happens next
1. We discuss the house and tenancy
We talk through who lives there, the lease, the home’s condition, access, and what you would like to happen with the tenants. 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 close through a title company
We talk through the lease and deposit as part of the sale. The title company accounts for your mortgage payoff, any liens or back taxes, and your share of current property taxes separately.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No fees.

Missouri leases, notice, and security deposits
Missouri generally lets an owner transfer a rented house and the right to future rent without the tenants’ consent, unless the lease says otherwise. The buyer becomes the landlord, and the sale itself does not require the tenants to move. A tenant who pays the former owner before getting notice of the sale is protected. Read RSMo §441.140 and RSMo §441.130.
Ending a month-to-month tenancy
For a month-to-month tenancy, written notice generally must give at least one month and end on a rent-paying date. Read RSMo §441.060.
Security deposits at sale and move-out
Missouri caps a security deposit at two months’ rent. When the tenancy ends, the landlord generally has 30 days to return it or give an itemized list of lawful deductions and return the balance. The purchase agreement and closing statement should account for the deposit when the house sells. Read RSMo §535.300.

Gladstone tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Gladstone house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place. Missouri generally allows an owner to transfer a rented property and the right to future rent without tenant consent, unless the lease says otherwise. The buyer becomes the landlord.
Do I have to evict tenants before selling to you?
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 selling the house make the tenants move out?
No. The sale itself does not end the lease or require the tenants to move. The buyer becomes the landlord, and the lease continues to shape possession.
What happens to the tenant’s security deposit?
Missouri caps a security deposit at two months’ rent. When the tenancy ends, the landlord generally has 30 days to return it or provide an itemized list of lawful deductions and return the balance. The purchase agreement and closing statement should account for the deposit when the house sells.
What notice is needed to end a month-to-month tenancy?
For a month-to-month tenancy, written notice generally must give at least one month and end on a rent-paying date.
