What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”

Selling a Rental Property in Tennessee — With or Without Tenants
Tennessee landlord-tenant law splits by county size. The Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (URLTA) applies only in counties with a population over 75,000 under the 2010 census — which includes Davidson County (Nashville), plus counties like Shelby, Knox, Hamilton, Rutherford, and Williamson. URLTA sets the rules on notices, security deposits, and repair obligations there. In smaller Tennessee counties, general state law and the lease itself control instead.
Evictions run through a detainer warrant filed in General Sessions Court. Even an uncontested Davidson County eviction realistically takes several weeks from the initial notice to the court date, judgment, and the writ of possession — commonly in the range of four to eight weeks — and a tenant appeal can add months. Eviction also usually means a vacant unit, make-ready costs, and no rent while you carry the mortgage and taxes.
You do not have to wait for a vacant house to sell. In Tennessee, an existing lease survives the sale: the buyer steps into your shoes as landlord and takes the property subject to the tenant's lease and security deposit. Investors often prefer an occupied property with rent coming in. That means a tired landlord can sell a tenant-occupied rental — even one with a problem tenant or unpaid rent — without evicting first.
A direct cash sale is how most burned-out Tennessee landlords exit. No showings that require tenant cooperation, no repairs to pass a retail buyer's inspection, no waiting for the lease to end. The buyer takes over the lease, the deposit transfers at closing, and rents are prorated. If you have owned the rental for years, ask a tax professional about depreciation recapture and capital gains before you close — Tennessee will not tax the gain, but the IRS will.
Can I sell my Tennessee rental while tenants still live there?
Yes. The lease survives the sale, and the buyer becomes the new landlord under the same lease terms. You do not need the tenant's permission to sell, though the lease and (in URLTA counties like Davidson) state law govern entry notice for any showings. Selling to an investor who wants the property occupied is usually the smoothest route.
How long does an eviction take in Davidson County?
Plan on roughly four to eight weeks for an uncontested case — notice, detainer warrant in General Sessions Court, court date, judgment, then the writ of possession — and meaningfully longer if the tenant contests or appeals. Many owners sell tenant-occupied instead of spending that time and cost first.
What happens to the security deposit when I sell?
It transfers with the property. At closing, the deposit is credited or handed to the buyer, who takes over the obligation to the tenant. Rent for the closing month is prorated between you and the buyer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell a rental property with tenants still living in it?
Yes. We buy rental properties with tenants in place. There is no need to evict, wait for a lease to expire, or vacate the property before selling.
Do I need to tell my tenants I am selling the Sparta property?
We recommend informing tenants as a courtesy, but in most cases you are not required to get their permission. The tenants' lease transfers to the new owner at closing.
What if my tenants are not paying rent?
Non-paying tenants actually make our offer more attractive for you. Dealing with eviction proceedings is expensive and time-consuming. We take over the property and the tenant situation at closing.
Will the sale affect my tenants' lease agreement?
Existing leases typically transfer to the new owner. The tenants' rights under their current lease are preserved. We honor all existing lease agreements.
What if the rental property needs a lot of repairs?
We buy rental properties as-is. Deferred maintenance, code violations, and tenant damage are all things we handle after closing. No repairs required on your part.
Can I sell a multi-unit rental property to EasyOffer?
Yes. We buy single-family rentals, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and small apartment buildings in Sparta. Multiple units are not a problem.
