Selling with a tenant in place
A lease generally stays in effect when a property is sold, and the new owner steps into the landlord's shoes. Selling to an investor who is happy to keep the tenant avoids the need to vacate, repair and show the unit. We will want copies of leases, the deposit amounts and any rent owed, since deposits typically transfer at closing.
If you want the unit empty first
Utah law sets notice periods for ending tenancies. For example, a month-to-month tenancy is generally ended with a notice served at least 15 calendar days before the end of the rental period, and a notice for unpaid rent generally gives the tenant three business days to pay or leave. Evictions go through the courts, so talk to a landlord-tenant attorney before serving notices.
Taxes to ask about
Selling a rental can bring capital gains and depreciation recapture. Some owners look at a 1031 exchange. Talk to a CPA before you sign anything so you know your net.

We walk the house, run the numbers, explain them, and give you a written offer. No fee and no obligation.

Common questions
Can I sell a rental with tenants still living there?
Yes. The lease generally transfers to the buyer, and we are set up to buy occupied rentals.
Do I have to fix the unit after a bad tenant?
No. We buy as-is, including damage left by tenants.
What about the security deposit?
Deposits are typically credited to the buyer at closing so the new owner can return them later. The title company handles it.
