Can I sell my rental property in King of Prussia while tenants are living there?

Yes. Pennsylvania law allows the sale of tenant-occupied properties. The lease transfers to the new owner — tenants keep their rights under the existing lease. As a cash buyer, we purchase the property with tenants in place. You don't need to wait for the lease to expire or go through an eviction.

Do tenants have the right to buy the property before I sell?

Pennsylvania does not have a statewide tenant right of first refusal law for residential properties. Tenants in King of Prussia and Upper Merion Township do not have a statutory right to purchase the property before you sell it, unless your specific lease agreement includes such a clause. Review your lease before proceeding.

How much notice do I need to give tenants before selling in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania law (68 P.S. § 250.501) requires landlords to give tenants written notice before entering the property for showings. For periodic tenancies (month-to-month), the standard notice for entry is 24 hours. However, because we purchase properties as-is without requiring showings or inspections by retail buyers, tenant disruption is typically minimal — often just one walkthrough.

What if my tenant has stopped paying rent?

We buy tenant-occupied properties regardless of payment status — including properties with non-paying tenants. You don't need to complete the eviction before selling. We take ownership of the tenant relationship and handle it from there. This is one of the most common reasons Montgomery County landlords sell to cash buyers.

What happens to the security deposit when I sell?

Under PA landlord-tenant law (68 P.S. § 250.512), security deposits must be transferred to the new owner at closing, or returned to the tenant. This is handled through the title company at closing — it's a standard step in any Pennsylvania tenant-occupied property transaction.

The Simplest Path Out of a Problem Rental

Listing a tenant-occupied property on the MLS is complicated — most retail buyers don't want to deal with existing tenants, especially if the relationship has become difficult. A cash sale bypasses all of that. We buy the property as-is, with the tenant in place, and take over the landlord relationship at closing. You're done.

Tenant-Occupied Situations We Buy In King of Prussia

Non-paying tenant

You've started the eviction process or are considering it. Evictions in Pennsylvania take time and legal fees — typically 3–6 months from first missed payment to regaining possession. Selling now transfers that burden to us.

Long-term tenant in a property you want to exit

The tenant has been there for years. The property needs work. You want out of the landlord business. We buy it with the tenant in place — no disruption to a long-term tenant, no awkward conversations.

Lease expiring and you don't want to re-rent

If the lease expires soon but you don't want to go through another rental cycle, we can close the purchase after the lease ends — or buy with the tenant still in place if the timing works.

Inherited rental with existing tenant

You inherited a King of Prussia rental property and don't want to become a landlord. We buy the property with the tenant in place. You receive cash; the tenant stays. Everyone moves forward.
