Being a landlord in Florida isn’t always easy—especially in today’s market with rising insurance, maintenance costs, and tenant issues. But many property owners didn’t even choose to become landlords in the first place.
A large percentage of the people we work with at HouseKey Offers inherited a property that already had a tenant living inside. No onboarding, no lease explanation, no history—just instant responsibility.
If you inherited a tenant…
Or you’re a tired landlord dealing with headaches, stress, or unpaid rent…
The good news is: you DO have options. And yes, you can sell a rental property with the tenants still inside—without repairs, without evictions, and without waiting months.
Let’s break everything down step-by-step.
🧩 Why Landlords Consider Selling Their Tenant-Occupied Property
Every situation is different, but here are the most common reasons Florida landlords reach out to us:
✔ You inherited a home with tenants you didn’t choose
Many heirs live out of state or simply don’t want to deal with managing a rental.
✔ Tenants aren’t paying (or pay late every month)
This is the #1 challenge we hear.
✔ The property needs repairs you don’t want to handle
Roof issues, AC failures, plumbing problems, cosmetic repairs, etc.
✔ You’re burned out and done being a landlord
After years of chasing rent or handling maintenance, many landlords just want out.
✔ Rising insurance and taxes in Florida
This has pushed many investors to sell while the market is still strong.
✔ You’re ready to simplify your life
Selling can free up cash for retirement, investment, or other goals.
💡 Can You Legally Sell a House With Tenants in Florida?
YES — absolutely.
In Florida, you can sell a rental property occupied or vacant, as long as lease terms are followed.
But here’s the part most landlords don’t know…
👉 You do NOT need to vacate tenants to sell to a cash buyer like HouseKey Offers.
We purchase properties:
- With long-term tenants
- With month-to-month tenants

🏠 What If You Inherited a Tenant?
This is more common than people think. When someone inherits a home that’s already rented:
- The tenant legally stays
- You take over responsibilities instantly
- You inherit any existing problems
- You inherit leases you did not write
- You inherit maintenance you did not ask for
For many heirs, the property becomes a burden, not a blessing.
That’s where we step in.
HouseKey Offers buys inherited rentals fast, even if:
- You don’t want to be a landlord
- The tenant won’t leave
- You don’t have the time, energy, or funds to manage it
- The property needs major work
- The estate needs a fast resolution
- You just want a clean, simple exit
We make it smooth, private, and headache-free.
