What we do with a tenant-occupied house

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.

If helping the tenants move may work better for everyone, tell us that too. We can discuss whether a cash-for-keys arrangement fits the situation, or talk about buying the house with tenants in place.

Bring us the tenancy or access problem

Lease timing, limited access, repairs, rent, tenant notices, or deposit records can all be part of the conversation. Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening.

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 what timing you are considering. Lease and deposit records can help describe the handoff, but you can start with what you know.

  2. 2. We put the offer and terms in writing

    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.

  3. 3. The title company handles the closing

    If you choose to proceed, the lease, occupancy, access arrangements, and security-deposit records are part of the handoff discussion so the written terms and closing paperwork can reflect the transaction.

Local help for a Waco rental property

For a property inside Waco city limits, these City pages are starting points for rental and code questions. Share the exact address and confirm with the City which office and current requirements apply.

City of Waco Rental Registration and Inspections

Use the City's rental-registration and inspection page to start a question about a Waco rental property. Confirm whether any current registration or inspection requirement applies to the specific address.

City of Waco Code Enforcement

For a city property-code question, use the City's Code Enforcement page and provide the address and any notice you received. The City can confirm which local process applies.

Texas leases, notice, possession, and security deposits

A sale does not by itself cancel a lease. If tenants remain in the house, the buyer becomes the new landlord; the lease and deposit handoff remain part of the sale.

The lease and possession

Tenants do not have to move just because the house sells. The continuing lease still matters after the sale, so discuss who lives there and what the agreement says as part of the handoff.

Notice for a month-to-month tenancy

If rent is paid monthly under a month-to-month tenancy, either side can end it with notice. It ends on the later of the date stated in the notice or one month after the notice is given. A lease signed by both sides can set a different notice period. Read Texas Property Code §91.001.

Security deposits when ownership changes

Once the new owner gets title, it is responsible for returning the tenants' deposits. The new owner must give each tenant a signed statement saying it bought the property, is responsible for the deposit, and stating the exact dollar amount. You remain responsible for deposits you collected until the new owner receives them or takes over that responsibility, unless your written contract says otherwise. Read Texas Property Code §92.105.

Keep each lease and deposit record together. A credit for the deposits to the buyer at closing is a useful handoff detail to discuss and put in the written terms.
