What we do

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.

We talk through the lease, who lives in the house, how access works, the property’s condition, repairs, and your timing. If helping the tenants move may work better for everyone, tell us; we can discuss whether a cash-for-keys arrangement fits the situation.

Bring us the problem

Lease timing, rent, access that is hard to arrange, repairs, or a tenant situation getting in the way? Tell us what is happening with the Rolla house and tenancy. Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through.

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, lease, rent, and deposit records can help explain the handoff.

  2. 2. You receive a written cash offer and terms

    We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You can review the proposed price and written terms before deciding whether to move forward.

  3. 3. The closing team accounts for rent and deposits

    The lease, occupancy, rent already paid, and security-deposit balance are part of the handoff discussion. The purchase agreement and closing statement should account for deposits; the title company handles the closing.

Missouri tenant rights, notice, and security deposits

Selling a rented house does not by itself cancel the lease or require the tenant to move. The lease and the occupancy, rent, and deposit details still matter in the handoff.

Rent after transfer — RSMo §441.130

A tenant who pays the former owner before receiving notice of the sale is protected. Keep rent records and notice details with the lease so the handoff can account for rent already paid.

Month-to-month notice — RSMo §441.060

A month-to-month tenancy generally ends on a rent-paying date at least one month after the tenant receives written notice. That is a separate termination step; selling the property itself is not notice and does not set a move-out date.

Security deposits — RSMo §535.300

Missouri caps security deposits at two months’ rent. When the tenancy ends, the landlord generally must return the deposit within 30 days or provide an itemized list of lawful deductions and return the balance. The purchase agreement and closing statement should account for the deposit when the property sells.

Rolla tenant-occupied seller questions

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

Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Rolla and Phelps County, Missouri, including houses with tenants in place. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease or require tenants to move; the lease and occupancy are part of the handoff.

Does selling a rental house cancel the lease?

No. Missouri law generally allows rented property and the right to future rent to transfer without tenant consent, unless the lease says otherwise. The sale itself does not cancel the lease or require the tenants to move.

How much notice ends a month-to-month tenancy in Missouri?

A month-to-month tenancy generally ends on a rent-paying date at least one month after the tenant receives written notice. That is separate from selling the property; the sale itself does not set a move-out date.

What happens to the security deposit when the house sells?

Missouri caps security deposits at two months’ rent. When the tenancy ends, the landlord generally must return the deposit within 30 days or provide an itemized list of lawful deductions and return the balance. The purchase agreement and closing statement should account for deposits when the property sells.

Do I have to evict before I call?

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.
