Picayune, MS · Pearl River County · Tenant-occupied property
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Picayune and Pearl River County, Mississippi, including houses with tenants still living there. When you sell to us, you can leave the landlord role behind; the sale itself does not cancel the tenant’s lease or make the home vacant.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form to talk through the lease, access, repairs, or timing. You can start the conversation before deciding what should happen with possession.
What we do
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. Tell us about the property and tenancy.
If helping the tenants move may work better than an occupied sale, we can discuss whether a cash-for-keys arrangement fits the situation.
Bring us the tenancy problem
Difficult access, repairs, lease timing, or a tenant conversation making a sale hard to plan? Tell us what is happening. We can talk through the house and tenancy together; you do not need to have every detail settled before calling.
Call 888-274-5006 and tell us about the Picayune property.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
We talk about who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the house’s condition, and the timing you have in mind. Start with what you know about the situation.
2. You review a written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the written offer and its terms before deciding whether to accept.
3. If you sell, closing goes through a title company
We discuss how the occupancy and security-deposit details fit the sale. If you choose to move forward, closing goes through a title company.

Mississippi tenant rights and security deposits
A sale does not by itself cancel the lease or make the home vacant. The written lease and Mississippi’s Residential Landlord and Tenant Act govern notices and possession; a court order or local rule may add requirements.
Mississippi Residential Landlord and Tenant Act
The lease and the Act govern the landlord-tenant relationship, notices, and possession. A sale alone does not set a move-out date or end the written lease.
Miss. Code Ann. §89-8-21(3) — security deposits
The landlord must itemize deposit deductions in writing and return the refundable balance within 45 days after the tenancy ends, possession is returned, and the tenant demands it.
