Can I Sell My Wichita Falls House With Tenants Still Living There?
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Yes. You can sell your Wichita Falls house with tenants still living there. A sale by itself does not cancel the lease, so we talk through the occupancy, access, and deposit handoff instead of pretending the tenancy is not there.

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 can talk with us about the house and tenancy before you decide what to do next.
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.
If helping the tenant move may work better for everyone, tell us about that, too. We can discuss whether a cash-for-keys arrangement fits the situation; any move-out terms need to be considered separately from the lease and sale.
Bring us the tenancy problem
Lease timing, limited access, repairs, an unresponsive tenant, or uncertainty about who holds the deposit can make a sale feel complicated. Tell us what is happening with the house and the tenancy. You can call before you have every document or decision settled.
Call 888-274-5006 and start with the address and the question in front of you.
What happens next
1. We discuss the house and the tenancy
Tell us who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, what repairs are needed, and what you know about rent and deposits. Start with what you know; you do not have to make the house vacant before the conversation.
2. We put the offer and terms in writing
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can review the proposed price and terms before deciding.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
3. The closing handoff accounts for occupancy and deposits
Bring the lease and deposit records into the closing discussion. The lease, who holds each deposit, the amount being transferred, and any agreed plan for occupancy all affect the handoff to the new owner.
Local county offices for a Wichita Falls address
Wichita Falls city boundaries overlap Wichita County and Clay County. That city-boundary result does not determine the county for an individual property, so check the address before using a county office. These offices are county record starting points; they do not decide a lease or tenant dispute.
Clay County Clerk
The state directory lists the County Clerk Office at P.O. Box 548, Henrietta, TX 76365-0548. Use the property's actual county when deciding which office to contact.
Texas leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease. You can sell with tenants still living in the house; the buyer becomes the new landlord. The lease and any separate plan for possession remain part of the handoff.
Texas Property Code §91.001 — month-to-month notice
If rent is monthly and the tenancy is month-to-month, either side can end it with notice. The tenancy ends on the later of the date named in the notice or one month after notice is given. A lease signed by both sides can set a different notice period. This rule does not make a sale itself a notice or a move-out date.
Texas Property Code §92.105 — deposit responsibility after a sale
From the day the new owner gets title, that owner is responsible for returning the security deposit. The new owner must give each tenant a signed statement saying it bought the property, is responsible for the deposit, and stating the exact amount.
If you collected the deposit, you remain responsible until the new owner receives it or takes over that responsibility, unless your written contract says otherwise. It is smart to credit deposits to the buyer at closing and keep the amount and records with the lease for the handoff.

Wichita Falls tenant-occupied house questions
Can I sell my Wichita Falls house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can discuss selling with the tenants still in the house. A sale by itself does not cancel the lease, so the lease, occupancy, access, and deposit records are part of the handoff conversation.
Do I have to evict before I talk with you?
No. You can call before deciding what to do about possession. We buy houses with tenants in place, and you can tell us about the lease, access, repairs, and the outcome you are considering.
What happens to a tenant’s security deposit when the house is sold?
When the buyer gets title, the new owner is responsible for returning the deposit and must give each tenant a signed statement that it bought the property, is responsible for the deposit, and identifies the exact amount. If you collected a deposit, you remain responsible until the new owner receives it or takes over that responsibility, unless your written contract says otherwise. It is smart to account for deposits at closing.
How much notice ends a month-to-month tenancy in Texas?
For a month-to-month tenancy with monthly rent, either side can end it with notice. It ends on the later of the date named in the notice or one month after notice is given. A lease signed by both sides can set a different notice period.
Which county handles records for my Wichita Falls property?
The Wichita Falls city boundary overlaps Wichita County and Clay County, but that citywide result does not identify the county for an individual parcel. Check the property’s actual county before using a county office.
