Done being a landlord? Sell with tenants in place

    Late rent, repair calls at midnight, a unit that keeps getting trashed. You can sell the property with the tenants still there and be done.

    • No repairs or cleaning
    • No agent commissions
    • Funds held by title

    The short answer

    DispoKey buys rental properties for cash with tenants in place — including non-paying or month-to-month tenants — so landlords can sell without finishing evictions, turning units over or making repairs.

    How it works

    Four calm steps, at your pace

      1

      Share the leases

      Rent roll, leases and any notices served.

      2

      Offer with tenants in place

      We don't need the units vacant.

      3

      Deposits transferred

      Security deposits move to us at closing per state rules.

      4

      We take over

      We become the landlord from closing day.

    Selling an occupied rental

    In most states a lease survives a sale — the new owner takes over the lease and the tenant's rights. That's why many buyers insist on a vacant property. We don't. Tenant notice requirements for showings still apply, so we keep visits short and properly noticed.

    If an eviction is already in progress

    You can often sell during an eviction case, but how the case transfers depends on local rules. A landlord-tenant attorney can advise. We'll take the property either way.
