Sell Your Jackson Rental Property With Tenants

Being a landlord isn’t always easy. If you’re tired of dealing with late rent payments, difficult tenants, constant maintenance requests, or property damage, it might be time to cash out. But selling a house with tenants still living in it can be complicated on the traditional market.

We take over the lease and handle the tenants, allowing you to sell your investment property quickly and quietly for cash.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling a Tenant-Occupied House in Jackson

Does selling end my tenant’s lease in Mississippi?

No. A fixed-term lease survives the sale under Mississippi common law, and the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act at Mississippi Code sections 89-8-1 through 89-8-29 contains no provision terminating a lease when a property changes hands. The buyer takes title subject to the existing tenancy and inherits your obligations as landlord. Tenants may stay through the end of the fixed term.

How much notice does a month-to-month tenant get?

Mississippi Code section 89-8-19(3) requires at least 30 days’ written notice to end a month-to-month tenancy, and section 89-8-19(2) requires seven days for a week-to-week arrangement. Where there is no written lease the arrangement is usually treated as month-to-month. Mississippi does not create a special exception because the property is being sold, so the ordinary notice rules apply.

Who is responsible for the security deposit after the sale?

The deposit stays owed to the tenant. At closing it transfers to the new owner, normally as a credit against the purchase price on the settlement statement, so you are released from having to account for it later and we take that on.

Can I sell if I want the tenants out but they will not leave voluntarily?

You have three practical routes: sell with the tenants in place, wait for the lease to expire, or negotiate an early termination with them, which often involves agreeing compensation or a notice period. Selling to us is the first of those and needs no cooperation from the tenants at all, which is usually the quickest way out of a difficult tenancy.

Will you want to inspect with the tenants there?

We will need to see the property, but once rather than repeatedly, and we can arrange it at a time that suits them. There are no open houses, no lockbox, and no stream of prospective buyers, which is normally a relief for everyone involved.
