What we do

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.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.

Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

We can discuss keeping the tenants in place or whether a move-out arrangement may work better for everyone. Tell us about the house and tenancy; you do not have to arrange a move before starting the sale conversation.

Lease timing, limited access, repairs, rent or deposit questions, or a difficult tenant conversation getting in the way? Tell us what is happening with the tenancy and the house. You can call before you have every answer.

Texas lease, notice, possession, and security-deposit rules

An active lease continues after the house sells, and the buyer becomes the new landlord. If you want a tenant to move, the lease and Texas notice rules affect the timing.

Lease and possession after a sale

The buyer takes over as landlord while the active lease continues. If a tenant's move-out is part of your plans, the lease and any separate notice affect when that can happen.

Texas Property Code §91.001 — month-to-month notice

For a month-to-month tenancy with monthly rent, either side can end it with notice. The tenancy ends on the later of the date stated in the notice or one month after notice is given. A lease signed by both sides can set a different notice period.

Texas Property Code §92.105 — security deposits when ownership changes

From the day the new owner gets title, the new owner is responsible for returning the security deposit. The new owner must give each tenant a signed statement saying the property was bought, the new owner is responsible for the deposit, and the exact dollar amount.

You remain responsible for deposits you collected until the new owner receives them or takes over that responsibility, unless your written contract says otherwise.

Hillsboro tenant-occupied house questions

Can I sell my Hillsboro house while tenants are still living there?

Yes. You can sell while tenants are still in place. The active lease continues after the sale, and the buyer becomes the new landlord.

Do I have to evict before selling to USA Home Buyers?

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.

What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?

The new owner is responsible for returning the deposit from the day it gets title and must give each tenant a signed statement confirming the purchase, deposit responsibility, and exact amount. You remain responsible for deposits you collected until the new owner receives them or takes over that responsibility, unless your written contract says otherwise.

How much notice ends a month-to-month tenancy?

For a month-to-month tenancy with monthly rent, either side can end it with notice. The tenancy ends on the later of the date in the notice or one month after notice is given. A lease signed by both sides can set a different notice period.

What should I have ready for a tenant-occupied sale?

You can start with the address and what you know about the lease and occupancy. We can talk through access, repairs, deposits, and timing together.
