Riverside, CA seller help · Tenant-occupied property
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
That is the landlord-exit benefit if you sell to us. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Riverside, California, and Riverside County, including homes with tenants in place. A sale does not by itself cancel a lease; the lease and applicable rules still matter.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. You can talk with us while the tenants are still there.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Share the address, lease status, access limits, and what is happening with the house.
We talk through the house and the tenancy: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, what rent and deposits are involved, and what timing you are considering. You can start the sale conversation without first resolving every question about notice or possession.
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.
Sometimes a move-out arrangement may work better for everyone. If cash-for-keys is part of the conversation, the tenant and owner can discuss written terms that fit the lease and applicable process.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Tell us what is happening with the lease, access, repairs, rent, or communication. Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through; you do not need to make a move-out decision before the conversation.
We talk about the Riverside address, who lives there, the lease, rent, access, repairs, notices, deposit records, and your timing. Share what you know; you do not have to make the house vacant before calling.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the proposed price and terms before deciding whether to proceed.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews the sale documents and the written terms guide the handoff. Share the lease, occupancy details, tenant notices, and deposit records so they can be addressed in the transaction.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the county documentary transfer tax and any city transfer tax.
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
These offices are local routes for municipal code questions and recorded property documents. They are not a decision about a particular parcel, lease, or tenant right.

A sale does not by itself cancel a lease. Keep the lease, occupancy details, deposit records, and tenant notices together; notice and possession questions remain separate from the sale. Local rent and eviction rules may also apply.
California Civil Code section 821 gives a buyer who takes property subject to a lease the same rights to collect rent and enforce the lease. The sale alone does not end the rental agreement or set a tenant’s move-out date. If possession needs to change, the lease and applicable notice and possession process still matter.
When your ownership ends, California Civil Code section 1950.5 gives you two choices for the deposit balance after lawful deductions. You can transfer the remaining amount to the buyer and notify the tenant by personal delivery or first-class mail. The notice must identify any claims against the deposit, the amount transferred, and the buyer’s name, address, and phone number.
Or you can return the remaining deposit to the tenant with an itemized accounting. If the required transfer or return steps are skipped, the buyer can share liability for the deposit. Keep the deposit ledger and tenant communications with the lease for the closing discussion.
California Civil Code section 1962 requires the new owner to give tenants its contact information and where to pay rent within 15 days. Share the current lease, rent records, deposit details, and written tenant notices so the closing can account for them.
