🔹 FAQ: Selling a Tenant-Occupied, Squatter or Rental Property in Florida
Do you buy houses with tenants still living in them?
Yes. We buy tenant-occupied properties in Florida, including long-term rentals.
What if the tenant does not want to move out? Or they are a squatter?
That’s okay. We evaluate each situation individually and can often purchase the property with the tenant in place. After closing we work within the laws of Florida to remove non paying / distructive tenants or squatters. That can be to let them live there as long as they pay rent and take care of the property. Offer cash for keys to get them out without further damage to the property or file and proceed with the eviction process.
Do I need to terminate the lease before selling?
Not necessarily. In many cases, the lease can transfer with the property.
What if the tenant is behind on rent?
We can still review the property and discuss options, even if rent payments are inconsistent or delayed.
Do you buy inherited rental properties?
Yes. Many inherited homes are tenant-occupied, and we frequently help heirs navigate these situations.
