Problem tenants can make selling your rental feel impossible, but you still have options. Here's how to deal with issues-and still sell your property successfully.
1. Address Issues Promptly
Don't wait to handle late rent, property damage, or lease violations. Document everything and follow your lease terms.
2. Offer a Cash-for-Keys Deal
Consider paying tenants to move out early. This can save time, money, and legal headaches compared to eviction.
3. Start the Eviction Process if Necessary
If tenants refuse to leave or break the lease, follow local eviction laws. Consult a real estate attorney for guidance.
4. Sell As-Is to a Cash Buyer
You don't need to remove problem tenants to sell. Cash buyers like Premium Cash Buyers can buy your property as-is, with tenants still living there-even if they aren't paying rent.
5. Be Honest with Buyers
Disclose tenant issues up front. Many investors expect these challenges and know how to handle them.
