What we do with a tenant-occupied house
We talk through the house and tenancy together: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, what repairs are needed, and what timing you have in mind. You do not have to resolve every occupancy question before starting the conversation.
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 before the sale would work better for everyone, ask us whether a cash-for-keys arrangement—a payment the tenant agrees to accept for moving—could fit the situation. Put any agreed move-out terms in writing.
Bring us the problem
Is the lease near renewal, is access hard to arrange, do repairs need attention, or are you unsure about the deposit? Tell us what is happening with the property and tenancy. You can call even if you do not have every document or answer in hand.

Local help for a Midland rental
Use the property address to confirm which city and county office applies. Midland properties can be in Midland County or Martin County, so a Midland mailing address alone does not tell you which county contact to use.
Midland County Clerk
For a property in Midland County, use the County Clerk's official contact page for county seller-side questions. Confirm the property's county before looking up records.
Martin County & District Clerk
For a property in Martin County, use the County & District Clerk's official page to find the county contact for your question. Confirm the property's county first.
Texas leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself cancel the lease. The buyer becomes the new landlord, so tenants do not automatically have to leave just because the house is sold. You can discuss a sale while the tenants are still there.
If you want the house empty, keep that separate from the sale: a closing does not itself end the lease or make the house vacant. The lease and any notice to end a tenancy still matter.
Notice for 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 the notice is given. A lease signed by both sides can set a different notice period. Read Texas Property Code §91.001.
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 it bought the property, is responsible for the deposit, and stating the exact dollar amount. Read Texas Property Code §92.105.
You remain responsible for deposits you collected until the new owner receives them or takes over that responsibility, unless your written contract says otherwise. It is smart to credit deposits to the buyer at closing. Keep a copy of each lease and deposit record ready for closing.

Tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Midland house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can sell a Midland house with tenants still living there. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease, so the tenants do not have to leave just because the property is sold.
Do I have to evict before I sell to you?
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.
How can a month-to-month tenancy be ended?
For a month-to-month tenancy with monthly rent, either side can end it with notice. It 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 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 saying it bought the property, is responsible for the deposit, and stating the 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.
What should I have ready for the sale?
Have copies of every lease and deposit record ready for closing. You can also tell us who lives there, the rent and access arrangements, any repairs, and what you hope happens next.
