Can I Sell My Rome House With Tenants Still Living There?
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
When you sell the house to USA Home Buyers, tenants can still be living there. We buy houses with tenants in place, and an ordinary sale does not by itself end a lease.
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Rome, Georgia and Floyd County. Call 888-274-5006; we answer 24/7. Or tell us about the property in the form.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Takes 2 minutes. No obligation.
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 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.
We talk through the lease, who is living in the house, access, repairs, and the handoff you have in mind. If a move-out arrangement might work better for everyone, we can discuss that too.
Bring us the problem
Access is difficult, repairs are piling up, or you are unsure how the lease fits a sale? Call and tell us what is happening. We can talk through the house and tenancy without asking you to solve every issue before the conversation.

Georgia tenant rights, leases, and security deposits
An ordinary sale does not by itself end a lease. Georgia’s Department of Community Affairs says a new owner is generally subject to an apartment’s existing lease terms. That means the house can be sold with tenants in place, but the lease still matters to the handoff.
Georgia DCA also says the former owner must either transfer the security deposit to the new owner, who then becomes responsible for it, or refund it to the tenant. We discuss the lease and deposit handling as part of the sale and closing plan.
Notice and possession are separate from the sale. A sale by itself does not cancel the lease or set a tenant’s move-out date; any move-out plan needs to account for the actual lease and applicable Georgia process.
Read the Georgia DCA Landlord-Tenant Handbook for the state’s landlord-tenant guidance.

Rome tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Rome house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place. Tell us about the lease, access, occupancy, and condition, and we can talk through the sale while the tenants are still there.
Does selling the house cancel the lease or set a move-out date?
No. An ordinary sale does not by itself end a lease or set a tenant’s move-out date. Georgia DCA says a new owner is generally subject to an apartment’s existing lease terms.
What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?
Georgia DCA says the former owner must either transfer the security deposit to the new owner, who becomes responsible for it, or refund it to the tenant. The lease and deposit handling are part of discussing the handoff.
Who can I contact about a Rome property code issue?
Rome-Floyd County Building Inspection and Code Enforcement handles local construction, nuisance, and code questions. Confirm the right office for the property address; Rome’s City and County boundary layers are separate.
