Houma, LA · Terrebonne Parish · Tenant-occupied property
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Houma, Louisiana, and Terrebonne Parish, including houses with tenants still living there. Selling does not by itself end the lease.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. Tell us about the lease, access, repairs, or timing; you can call before deciding what should happen with possession.
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 problem
Lease timing, limited access, repairs, unpaid rent, deposit records, or a difficult tenant conversation getting in the way? Tell us what is happening and what you want to happen with the property.
Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
We talk through the Houma address, who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the house’s condition, rent and deposit records, and the timing you have in mind. Start with what you know.
2. You review a written cash offer and terms
We discuss the property as it stands and the tenancy. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the proposed price and terms before you decide.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
3. The title company reviews the closing and handoff
If you choose to proceed, the title company handles the closing. The lease, occupancy, rent and deposit records, and any possession plan belong in the handoff discussion with the closing professionals.

Louisiana leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself end the agreement between landlord and tenant. A recorded lease can bind a buyer, but the buyer does not automatically take on all of the seller’s personal lease obligations. The rights and obligations need to be addressed at closing. See the 2026 Act 240 / SB 77 and its enrolled statutory text.
If you plan to end a month-to-month tenancy, Louisiana’s basic rule is at least ten calendar days’ notice before the end of the month. For a residential house, that notice must be in writing. The lease and other applicable protections can affect the answer. See Civil Code article 2728 on notice periods and article 2729 on written notice.
For the deposit handoff, have the lease and deposit records ready so the closing attorney can arrange the transfer correctly. The sale itself does not set a move-out date; any possession plan still needs to account for the lease and applicable process.

Houma tenant-occupied house questions
Can I sell my Houma house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can sell with the tenants still there. The sale does not by itself end the lease; a recorded lease can bind a buyer, so the lease and handoff details should be addressed at closing.
Do I have to evict before I call?
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.
What notice applies to a month-to-month tenancy in Louisiana?
The basic rule is at least ten calendar days before the end of the month. For a residential house, the notice must be in writing. The lease and other applicable protections can affect the answer.
What happens to the security deposit when I sell?
Have the lease and deposit records ready so the closing attorney can arrange the transfer correctly. The deposit and the seller’s other personal lease obligations should be addressed as part of the closing handoff.
What should I have ready to discuss the house?
Start with what you know about the address, lease, who lives there, rent, deposit records, access, repairs, and timing. You can call even if some details are missing.
