Can I Sell My Kirkwood House With Tenants Still Living There?

You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.

Yes, you can sell while tenants are still living there. We can talk through the lease and the handoff with you.

We answer 24/7 at 888-274-5006. Use the form to tell us about the house and tenancy.

What we do

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.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

If a move-out would work better for everyone, we can talk about cash-for-keys. Selling with the tenant in place is another option.

  2. 2. You review the written offer and terms

    You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

  3. 3. We talk through the lease and deposit handoff

    We go over the lease, deposit records, and any tenant notices with you so the purchase agreement and closing statement can account for rent and deposits.

Missouri leases, notice, and security deposits

When the rental sells

Missouri lets an owner transfer rented property and the right to future rent without the tenant's consent, unless the lease says otherwise. The buyer becomes the landlord. A tenant who pays the former owner before receiving notice of the sale is protected.

Read RSMo §441.140 and §441.130.

If you want a month-to-month tenant to move

A month-to-month tenancy generally ends on a rent-paying date at least one month after the tenant receives written notice.

Read RSMo §441.060.

The security deposit

Missouri caps security deposits at two months' rent. When the tenancy ends, the landlord generally must return the deposit within 30 days or provide an itemized list of lawful deductions and return the balance.

When the house sells, the purchase agreement and closing statement should account for the deposit. Read RSMo §535.300.

Kirkwood tenant-occupied house questions

Can I sell my Kirkwood house while tenants still live there?

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 a sale mean my tenants have to move?

No. Selling the house does not by itself require the tenant to move. Missouri lets an owner transfer rented property and the right to future rent without the tenant’s consent, unless the lease says otherwise; the buyer becomes the landlord.

What notice applies to a month-to-month tenancy?

A month-to-month tenancy generally ends on a rent-paying date at least one month after the tenant receives written notice.

What happens to a tenant’s security deposit?

Missouri caps security deposits at two months’ rent. When the tenancy ends, the landlord generally must return the deposit within 30 days 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 if my tenant pays me before hearing about the sale?

A tenant who pays the former owner before receiving notice of the sale is protected. The buyer may collect future rent after notice.

Can I talk with you about access or repairs?

Yes. Tell us what is happening with the lease, access, or repairs, and we can talk through the house and tenancy with you.
