Rental property sold for cash to HomeWise

Your Options

Can You Sell a Rental Property With Tenants in It?

Yes. You can sell a rental with tenants in place. In most cases the existing lease transfers with the property, so the new owner takes over as landlord and the tenants stay under their current terms until the lease ends.

That means you do not have to wait for the lease to expire, evict anyone, or time the sale to a vacancy. A cash buyer who also invests can close subject to the existing lease.

The Process

How to Sell a Rental Property Fast

You do not need to turn the unit or end the tenancy first.

  • Tell us about the property, the lease, and whether rent is current.
  • Get a same-day cash offer that accounts for the tenancy.
  • We close subject to the existing lease. Tenants are not disturbed.
  • You hand off the deposits and lease at closing and you are done being a landlord.

Cash Offer

We Buy Rental Properties for Cash

HomeWise buys single rentals and small multi-family properties for cash, as is, occupied or vacant. Deferred maintenance, problem tenants, and dated units are all fine. We price them in.

Because we buy as an investor, a paying tenant is a feature, not a problem. You skip the turnover, the make-ready repairs, and the vacancy that a traditional sale often requires.

The Comparison

Rental Sale: Cash Sale vs Listing on the Market

Listing a tenant-occupied rental is hard: showings require tenant cooperation, most retail buyers want it vacant and renovated, and emptying it costs you rent and turnover expense.

A cash sale to an investor buys it as is, with the tenant in place, and closes fast. If the unit is vacant, renovated, and in a hot owner-occupant market, listing might net more, and we will tell you.

What to Know

What Happens to the Lease and Deposits

In most states, a sale does not break an existing lease. The lease runs with the property, so the buyer becomes the new landlord and must honor the current terms until the lease ends. Month-to-month tenancies transfer too, subject to the notice rules in your state.

Security deposits transfer to the new owner at closing, and the tenants should be notified of the new owner and where to send rent. We handle the deposit transfer and the lease assignment as part of the closing so nothing falls through the cracks.

Common Questions About Selling a House: Tired Landlord

Honest answers about selling in this situation, what to expect, and how fast you can close.

Can I sell with a tenant still under lease?

Yes. The lease typically transfers with the property and the new owner honors it. You do not need to evict or wait for the lease to end.

What about the security deposits?

Deposits transfer to the buyer at closing, and tenants are notified of the new owner. We handle this as part of the closing.

Do you buy if the tenant is behind on rent?

Yes. Tell us the rent status. A behind-on-rent tenant does not stop the sale; we factor it into the offer.

Can you buy multiple rentals at once?

Yes. We buy single rentals and small portfolios. Tell us what you have and we will make an offer.
