Are you, as the owner of the property, even allowed to do that?
What do you need to know?
And the real key here is the lease you have with the tenant must be honored. So depending on the kind of lease it is, there can be a few different outcomes…
Give One Month’s Notice — If you just have a month-to-month lease with the tenant, then you need to give proper written notice under Florida law before they need to be out of the home. Then the property can be sold as normal.
Sell As An Investment Property — If the lease with the tenant has several months or years left on it, the good news is that the property can usually still be sold, but the lease must be honored. This means that you’d probably want to sell it as an investment property since the tenants will get to remain in the home.
Sell To a Professional Homebuyer — Regardless of the type of lease, you can almost always sell to a professional home buyer like ourselves. We buy rentals with tenants in place and take over the lease at closing, so you don’t have to end a lease or handle an eviction before you sell. Give us a call at 321-316-1051 if you want to get your fair cash offer.
