Sell Your Memphis 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 Memphis

Do I have to evict my tenants before selling?

No. Under the general rule in Tennessee a sale does not terminate a residential tenancy: the buyer takes the property subject to the existing rental agreement and becomes the new landlord. A fixed-term lease runs through to its stated end date. You do not need to evict anyone, and intending to sell is not itself a ground for ending a tenancy whose term has not expired.

What if my tenant is month to month?

A month-to-month tenancy in Tennessee can be ended with at least 30 days’ written notice given before the periodic rental date, by either party. Tennessee has no statewide just-cause requirement. That said, you do not have to serve notice at all if you are selling to us. We are generally happy to keep a paying tenant in place, which also spares you the vacancy.

What happens to the security deposits at closing?

The deposit remains money owed to the tenant, so it does not simply stay with you. It transfers to the new owner at closing, normally handled as a credit on the settlement statement, which clears you of the obligation and passes it to us along with the responsibility to account for it at the end of the tenancy.

My tenants have stopped paying. Will you still buy?

Yes. Non-paying tenants, tenants in breach, and eviction proceedings already under way are among the most common reasons Memphis landlords come to us. The rent roll as it actually is affects the price, not whether we are interested. You do not need to resolve the situation before selling.

Do I have to tell the tenants the property is being sold?

They cannot veto the sale, but they do need to be told who their landlord now is and where rent should be sent. We handle that notification after closing, and we can time it sensibly around whatever relationship you have with them. There is no need for a stream of showings, because we do not need to market the property.
