What we do

USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in the City of Lafayette and throughout Lafayette Parish. 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.

We can talk about the lease, who lives in the house, access, needed repairs, and what you want to happen next. If a tenant move-out arrangement may work better for everyone, bring it up in the conversation; the lease and applicable process still matter.

Bring us the problem

Lease timing, access around the tenants, or repairs getting in the way? Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening. You can start with what you know; you do not have to settle every tenancy question before calling.

What happens next

  1. 1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house

    Tell us who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the house's condition, and the timing you are considering. If available, the lease and deposit records can make the conversation more specific.

  2. 2. You review the written offer and terms

    We give you the proposed offer and terms in writing before you commit. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

  3. 3. The lease and deposit handoff are addressed for closing

    A sale does not by itself cancel the lease. Bring the lease and deposit records to the closing discussion so the closing attorney can address the occupancy, the parties' lease obligations, and the deposit transfer in the transaction documents.

    When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Start with the right local government

Lafayette Consolidated Government has separate City and Parish Council bodies. The consolidated-government structure does not make every Lafayette Parish municipality part of the City of Lafayette. Confirm the property's actual municipality, then ask the appropriate local government which office handles a rental or property-maintenance question for that address.

Louisiana leases, notice, possession, and security deposits

Selling does not, by itself, end the agreement between landlord and tenant. A recorded lease can bind a buyer, but the buyer does not automatically assume all of the seller's personal lease obligations. Address the lease rights and obligations as part of the closing handoff; the house does not become vacant just because it is sold.

Ending a month-to-month tenancy

If you plan to end a month-to-month tenancy, Louisiana's 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, so do not treat the notice period as an automatic move-out date after a sale.

Civil Code art. 2728, notice periods · art. 2729, written notice

Security-deposit records and transfer

Have the leases and deposit records ready so the closing attorney can arrange the transfer correctly. Include the deposit amount and records with the closing information so the handoff can be addressed with the lease and occupancy.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers

Lafayette tenant-occupied house questions

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

Yes. You can talk with us about selling while tenants are still there. A sale does not by itself end the rental agreement, so the lease, occupancy, and deposit records belong in the closing discussion.

Do I have to evict the tenants before I call?

No. 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. Tell us about the property and tenancy.

What happens to the lease when the house is sold?

Selling does not by itself end the agreement. A recorded lease can bind a buyer, but the buyer does not automatically assume all of the seller's personal lease obligations. Address the lease rights and obligations as part of the closing handoff.

How much notice is needed to end a month-to-month tenancy in Louisiana?

Louisiana's 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 any other applicable protections can affect the answer.

What should I do about the security deposit?

Have the lease and deposit records ready so the closing attorney can arrange the transfer correctly. Include the deposit amount and records in the closing discussion.

What happens after I contact USA Home Buyers?

We discuss the house, lease, occupancy, access, condition, and timing. You receive the proposed offer and terms in writing before you commit, and closing is handled through a title company.
