Can You Sell a Rental Property With Tenants Still Living There?

Yes. You can sell a rental with tenants in place, and we buy them that way every month.

No eviction, no vacancy and no waiting for the lease to end. We take over as the new landlord at closing.

The Lease Transfers With the Sale

An existing lease stays in force after a sale. The tenant keeps the same terms and simply pays us. The same is true if you are selling an inherited house that came with tenants.

Month-to-Month vs Fixed-Term Leases

Fixed-term leases carry over until they end. Month-to-month tenants can stay too, so you don't have to give notice to sell to us.

Selling With Difficult or Non-Paying Tenants

Late rent or a tenant who won't cooperate doesn't stop a sale to us.

  • Tenant behind on rent? We still buy
  • No need to finish an eviction first
  • Damage from tenants? We buy as-is

We Handle the Tenant Conversation

We talk to your tenant directly and schedule one short walkthrough. You don't have to be in the middle.

Cash for Keys and Relocation Help

If a tenant wants to move, we can offer cash for keys and pay for movers, as we have for past sellers.

Cash Sale vs Listing a Tenant-Occupied Home

Listing a rental with tenants inside is slow and hard to show.

Cash sale to usListing with an agent
TenantsCan stayOften asked to leave first
ShowingsOne walkthroughMany, on the buyer's schedule
RepairsNone, as-isUsually needed
TimelineAs fast as 3 daysMonths

Showings and Tenant Cooperation

Tenants rarely enjoy open houses. One quick visit from us is much easier on everyone.

Vacancy and Carrying Costs

Emptying a rental means months of mortgage, taxes and utilities with no rent. Selling with tenants avoids that. Need work done? We also sell a house that needs repairs.

Taxes in plain English

Taxes When You Sell a Rental Property

Depreciation Recapture

Depreciation you claimed over the years is usually taxed when you sell. Your CPA can estimate it before you sign.

Using a Fast Close in a 1031 Exchange

We can set a firm closing date, which helps you meet 1031 exchange deadlines with your intermediary.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what homeowners ask us most.

Do my tenants have to move out?

No, your tenants can stay where they are. We buy rental properties with tenants in place and take over the lease at closing. The tenant keeps the same terms and simply starts paying us. If your tenant would rather move, we can talk about cash for keys and help with moving costs, so the change is easier for everyone involved.

Can you buy if a tenant is behind on rent?

Yes, we regularly buy rentals where the tenant is behind on rent. You don't need to collect the back rent or finish an eviction first. We factor the situation into our offer and deal with the tenant after closing. Unpaid rent owed to you before closing can usually be handled as part of the settlement terms we agree on in writing.

What is TOPA and does it apply to my DC house?

TOPA is DC's Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act, which gives some tenants the right to buy before a sale. Since 2018, most single-family rentals are exempt, except for certain elderly or disabled tenants. Owners still have to send the required notices. We have closed DC sales under TOPA and will walk you through each step with the title company so nothing is missed.

Do I need my tenant's permission to sell?

No, you don't need your tenant's permission to sell the property you own. You do need to respect the lease, give proper notice before entering, and follow any local sale notice rules. In DC and some Maryland counties, tenants must receive formal notice. We schedule one short walkthrough with reasonable notice and keep the tenant informed throughout, so the sale stays calm and respectful.

What happens to the security deposit?

The security deposit moves to the new owner at closing. The title company credits us with the deposit amount on the settlement statement, and from then on we are responsible for returning it to the tenant under the lease and local law. You give the tenant written notice of the transfer, and you are no longer holding their money or responsible for returning it later.

Do you buy multi-unit rentals?

Yes, we buy duplexes, triplexes, small apartment buildings and houses with basement units across Maryland, Virginia and DC. Units can be occupied, vacant or a mix of both. Multi-unit buildings in DC may carry full TOPA rights for tenants, which adds time to the sale. We will tell you upfront how that affects the closing timeline and the paperwork involved.

Will I pay depreciation recapture?

Most likely yes, if you claimed depreciation on the rental over the years. That amount is usually taxed when you sell, separately from any capital gain. The exact figure depends on your purchase price, improvements and years owned. This is general information, not tax advice, so ask your CPA to run the numbers before you accept any offer, including the effect of any improvements.

Can a fast close help my 1031 exchange?

Yes, a firm closing date helps you stay inside the 1031 exchange deadlines. You have 45 days to identify a replacement property and 180 days to close on it, counted from the sale. Because we pay cash and back our contract with a $10,000 deposit, your sale date won't slip because of a buyer's financing or a failed appraisal, and you can plan around it.

I would like to say how incredible it was working with Ed, and his team. Warm, friendly, giving, patient, understanding beyond words. Ed had to work with my 80 year old sister with Bi-Polar disorder. To sell her house in Mount Ranier, Md. He was amazing working with her. I spent many days on the phone with Ed, and Angela talking me through the process, they were reassuring, and answered every question or concern I had with both compassion and care! The entire process was smooth and quick, only because of their expertise, and knowledge. I cant even describe in words how easy and smooth they made it. I met Ed through my niece. She highly recommended Ed since he bought three different properties from her on her in-law side. I now Highly recommend Ed to anyone looking to sell their property. If you want, smooth, friendly, professional...Please get Ed Rooney! He is now an incredible friend, Ed is absolutley someone you want in your corner, and as a friend!! I'am forever grateful for what Ed did for me. This is now our second time working together, Ed purchased my other sisters house in College Park, Md. I will get Ed a 1000 times if I could. I know for certain we will work together again. Thank You Ed, Angela, and the amazing team. Thelma Naulty

I had a great experience with Quick Homebuyers! I needed to sell my mother's home due to her passing. Ed made the process smooth and easy. Ed was the first one onsite to meet with me at the home and was easy to talk to. I explained my problem and he solved it! He and his team followed up as often as possible and kept me informed during the process. I really felt that I was important to him in solving my problem, not just to buy the home. I recommend QHB,I to anyone facing the same situation. Thank you!

I recently had the pleasure of having Mr. Rooney sell my grandmotherโ€™s home that was in probate for over four years. I owed a significant amount of money in back taxes, he paid the taxes and I was still left with a reasonable amount of money. Mr. Rooney and Angela Kim are responsible, professional and very accommodating. They worked very quickly to get the sale done in less than thirty days. I highly recommend Quick Homebuyers, they are the BEST!

I recently sold my home and relocated. I was referred by a friend and was extremely satisfied with the process. Ed and his team are very efficient. I never felt pressured to do anything. The notary came to me, and I literally left my house twice to do something in regards to the process. They did everything they said they would and more. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Thank you Ed and Angela!

Quick Homebuyers went above and beyond to provide me a market value assessment and other property info I needed for my house. They responded quickly after my initial request and I spoke with real humans. Thank you Quick Homebuyers. I recommend them.

I called several companies to sell my late motherโ€™s estate property and Quick Homebuyers was by far the most communicative. They competed again four other offers I received, and while I was negotiating with the other companies, I kept having to leave voicemails and almost never reached the owners. Two of those companies had answering services where I would have to leave a message with them, only to receive a delayed call back. I choose Quick Homebuyers because not only did they offer the best price and terms, but I felt more comfortable working with them. They gave me a fair cash offer range the same day I called and after they saw the property, actually offered me over than the higher number in their initial offer. They closed in a week as promised and let the tenant stay in the property for free after settlement while they helped her find her next home. That was their biggest selling point because I did not have to wait until she left to sell. They also paid for movers to move everything to her next home, which I thought was very admirable because I did not even find out until after the fact. Whenever I called for Ed or Angela, they were always available and never let my calls go to voicemail. One night I called around 11pm to leave a voicemail for Ed to call me in the morning, and to my surprise he actually answered. Every time I sent an email, I got response within 10 minutes. Their team was super easy to work with and Iโ€™m very pleased with their quality of service. The process was incredibly stressful until they entered the picture and supported me throughout the entire process. Highly, highly recommend. He is the best!

When I first contacted Quick Homebuyers, I was overwhelmed and under pressure. From our very first conversation, they took a huge weight off my shoulders. Every promise they made, they kept. They closed quickly, handled every detail of the sale, and truly went above and beyond what I ever expected from a home-buying company. They showed an incredible level of compassion that Iโ€™ll never forget. I was behind on my car payment, had a repair bill, needed a security deposit for a new apartment, and I had a once-in-a-lifetime trip planned with friends that I was about to cancel. Quick Homebuyers stepped in and covered all of it and even paid for my flightโ€”saying these would all be reimbursed at closing. But when the payoffs came in, I found out I actually had to bring thousands of dollars to the table just to sell the house. Instead of backing out, they told me not to worryโ€”they covered everything they had fronted for me, and they even paid the amount I owed at closing, just so I could walk away free and clear. On top of all that, they paid for movers to come in and assist in packing up my belongings, and move everything to my new apartment. I am so incredibly grateful that I made the decision to reach out to Quick Homebuyers. They are not just ethical and professionalโ€”they are compassionate, and they truly care about the people they help. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone who is looking to sell their home, they truly do solve problems.

I had to sell my father's house after he passed. Many buyers reached out wanting to purchase it. When Ed and his team contacted me he was more concerned that I did not get taken advantage of. He talked me through the process of how this will work and gave me valuable information making me feel at ease. I don't live in the same area as my father so moving all his things was going to be a huge under taking.Ed packed, shipped all of the things in the house that I wanted at no cost to me. He had a moving compay come pack all my belongings and ship everything to Georgia for free..The locks on the house had to be changed to get access to the house Ed paid to have new locks installed and did not charge me. They also deposed of everything in the house that I did not want for free! That saved me hundreds of dollars We settled on a price and closed quickly. Thanks Ed your a man of you word.I would recommend. quick homebuyer to anyone that has a home to sell.

We never thought we would be drawn into needing help. Ed and his team showed us how easy this adventure would actually be. He visited in person on the very first visit and his team was here. The curtesy and professionalism to the follow ups after, they definitely know their business. I would recommend Ed Rooney and Quick Homebuyers with no hesitation, and they really do "solve problems". Thank you Mr. Rooney and staff. The Furr's
