Ozark, Alabama · Tenant-occupied property
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
After you sell the house to USA Home Buyers, you can leave the landlord role behind. We buy houses with tenants still living there, so you can consider a sale without lining up a turnover or repairs first.
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Ozark and across Dale County. We answer 24/7 at 888-274-5006. You can also use the form below.

Alabama leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
Alabama Code § 35-9A-141 — rental agreements
The buyer takes over as landlord subject to the existing lease. You can sell to us with the tenants still in place.
Alabama Code § 35-9A-441 — ending periodic tenancies
Ending a month-to-month tenancy generally requires written notice at least 30 days before the periodic rental date named in the notice. Ending a week-to-week tenancy generally requires at least seven days' written notice. A fixed-term lease or other protections may require a different approach.
Alabama Code § 35-9A-201 — security deposits
Alabama generally caps a security deposit at one month's rent, with extra amounts allowed for pets, changes to the home, or added liability risk.
Within 60 days after the tenancy ends and the tenant gives back possession, the landlord must mail the refund and an itemized account of lawful deductions. Failing to mail the refund or accounting on time can cost twice the original deposit. The landlord who holds the interest when the tenancy ends is bound by these rules; we can discuss the deposit and rental-record handoff with you.
Read the official text of § 35-9A-141, § 35-9A-201, and § 35-9A-441.

Ozark tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Ozark house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place. A sale generally does not cancel the lease; the buyer takes over as landlord subject to it.
Do I have to evict the tenants before I contact you?
You don't 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 security deposit when I sell?
Alabama generally caps a security deposit at one month’s rent, with extra amounts allowed for pets, changes to the home, or added liability risk. Within 60 days after the tenancy ends and the tenant gives back possession, the landlord must mail the refund and an itemized account of lawful deductions. The landlord who holds the interest when the tenancy ends is bound by these rules; we can discuss the deposit and rental-record handoff with you.
Does a sale end a month-to-month or week-to-week tenancy?
A sale generally does not end the tenancy. Ending a month-to-month tenancy generally requires written notice at least 30 days before the periodic rental date named in the notice; ending a week-to-week tenancy generally requires at least seven days’ written notice. A fixed-term lease or other protections may call for a different approach.
