Yakima, WA · Yakima County · Tenant-occupied property

You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.

Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Yakima and Yakima County, Washington, even with tenants living there. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease or make the house vacant. Tell us what is happening with the lease, access, repairs, deposits, or timing.

Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. You can talk with us before deciding what should happen with possession.

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 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 tenants move may work better for everyone, tell us. We can talk through the property and tenancy, including whether a cash-for-keys arrangement fits what you and the tenants want.

Bring us the problem

Lease timing, limited access, needed repairs, rent concerns, or uncertainty about the handoff getting in the way? Tell us what is happening with the tenants and the house.

Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through.

What happens next

  1. 1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house

    Tell us the Yakima address, who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the house’s condition, deposit records, and the timing you have in mind. Start with what you know.

  2. 2. You review the written offer and terms

    We discuss the house as it stands and the tenancy. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the proposed price and terms before you decide.

  3. 3. We discuss the handoff and closing

    Before setting a closing date, we will review the lease, notices, deposits, and possession plan with you. If you choose to proceed, a title company handles the closing; the written terms and occupancy plan should match what you have agreed to.

Local help for a Yakima rental

City code and inspection questions go to the City of Yakima. Check the actual address with the City when city jurisdiction matters; a Yakima mailing address does not by itself establish that a property is inside city limits.

Washington leases, notice, possession, and deposits

Yes, you can discuss a sale with tenants still in the house. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease or mean the tenants must leave. For residential tenancies covered by Washington’s Residential Landlord-Tenant Act, a landlord may use the sale of a single-family residence as a reason to end the tenancy only with at least 90 days’ advance written notice and a genuine effort to sell after the tenant leaves, subject to the statute’s conditions and exceptions. This is not a blanket 90-day right to end every tenancy; the lease, tenancy type, property type, and statutory coverage matter. See RCW 59.18.650(2)(e).

A sale and a move-out are separate questions. Do not assume the deed transfer alone sets a move-out date or creates vacant possession. We will review the lease, notices, deposits, and possession plan with you before setting a closing date.

If the house remains rented, the landlord’s duty to comply with applicable housing codes continues while the tenancy is in effect. A sale does not itself clear a code concern. See RCW 59.18.060(1).

For the deposit handoff, keep the lease, deposit amount and records, any prepaid-rent information, and tenant communications together. We will review the deposit details with you as part of the occupancy and closing discussion; the arrangement for this sale should be reflected in the written terms.

Yakima tenant-occupied house questions

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

Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Yakima and Yakima County, Washington, including houses with tenants in place. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease or mean the tenants must leave. We will discuss the lease, notices, deposits, and who will occupy the house before setting a closing date.

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.

Does selling the house automatically end the lease?

No. A sale does not by itself end the tenancy or create a vacant house. The lease and any separate possession plan still matter when the sale is arranged.

Does Washington require 90 days’ notice to sell a rental house?

For residential tenancies covered by Washington’s Residential Landlord-Tenant Act, a landlord may use the sale of a single-family residence as a reason to end the tenancy only with at least 90 days’ advance written notice and a genuine effort to sell after the tenant leaves, subject to the statute’s conditions and exceptions. This is not a blanket 90-day right to end every tenancy; the lease, tenancy type, property type, and statutory coverage matter.

What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?

We will review the lease, notices, deposit records, and possession plan with you before setting a closing date. Keep the deposit amount and records, any prepaid-rent information, and tenant communications together so the handoff can be discussed for this sale.
