Sell a Rental Property With Tenants in Plano
Most landlords who want out assume they have to empty the property first. That belief costs them a turnover, weeks of vacancy, and sometimes an eviction they never needed to file.

How it works
What are the steps to sell your Plano house for cash?
Tell us about the house
Address and condition is enough. We do not need photos, a cleanup, or a repair list — we buy as-is and we expect deferred maintenance.
Get a written offer in 24 hours
We price off recent Collin County sales and what the house actually needs. You get a real number in writing, with how we arrived at it.
Close on your date
Seven days if you need speed, or later if you need time to find your next place. Closing happens at a Texas title company and we cover the closing costs.
Cash offer vs agent vs iBuyer
Which of the three is actually right for your house?
If your Plano house is updated, empty and you can wait 60–90 days, listing with a good agent will usually net you more, and an iBuyer may too if the house fits its criteria. A cash sale wins when condition, a fixed date or certainty matter more than squeezing out the last few percent.
| Listing with an agent | iBuyer / instant offer | Sell My House Fast Plano | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to close | Typically 60–90+ days, plus time on market | Usually 14–60 days, inside the platform's window | 7–14 days on clean title, or later if you prefer |
| Agent commission | Commonly 5–6% of the price | None | None |
| Service fee | None separate from the commission | Yes — a percentage of the price, disclosed in the offer | None |
| Closing costs | Seller commonly pays 1–3% | Seller pays their share | We pay them |
| Repairs | Pre-list work, then buyer repair requests | None up front; deductions after their inspection | None, and no deduction after we look |
| Showings | Ongoing, plus open houses | None, but an inspection visit | One walkthrough |
| Financing contingency | Buyer's appraisal and loan can fall through | None — the platform pays cash | None — we pay cash |
| Condition accepted | Must satisfy the buyer's lender and appraiser | Newer, financeable houses within set criteria | Any condition — fire, hoarder, foundation, tenants |
| Who picks the closing date | Negotiated with the buyer | Chosen from the platform's window | You do |

Get My Cash Offer Call (972) 928-0410Can you sell a rental property in Plano with tenants still living in it?
Yes. A lease runs with the property, not the owner, so a Plano rental can be sold with tenants in place and the buyer takes the lease. Selling to a cash buyer avoids eviction, turnover cost and vacancy — no showings, no repairs, and the security deposit transfers at closing.

The lease transfers with the house
A lease attaches to the property. When we buy, we take it on and the tenants keep their existing terms — you do not have to end a tenancy, wait it out, or hand anyone a notice. Send the lease and the rent roll with the address and we can price from that.
You skip the turnover entirely
Turning a rental over to sell retail means paint, flooring, cleaning, repairs and a month or two of empty months while you pay the mortgage. On a Plano rental that is commonly $8,000 to $20,000 plus the vacancy, spent purely to make the house presentable to a buyer who then asks for repairs anyway.
Difficult tenants are not a dealbreaker
Behind on rent, refusing entry, unauthorized occupants, damage beyond the deposit — we buy in that condition too. We do not need interior access on a schedule, which is usually the thing that makes a retail listing impossible with an uncooperative tenant.
Deposits, prorated rent and Section 8
The security deposit and prorated rent are handled on the settlement statement, so you are not chasing anyone afterward. Housing-choice-voucher tenancies are fine; the inspection schedule attached to them tends to be the reason retail buyers cannot make the timing work.
Texas landlord-tenant law
What Texas law does with the lease when the house is sold
The reason a tenant-occupied sale works at all is that a lease attaches to the property rather than to the landlord. These are the provisions that decide how the handover is handled.
- The lease survives the sale
- A buyer takes the property subject to the existing tenancy and its terms. A fixed-term lease is not ended by the sale, which is precisely why no eviction is needed to sell.
- The deposit becomes the buyer's liability
- Under Texas Property Code section 92.105, a person who acquires the property assumes liability for returning the security deposit. It moves across on the settlement statement rather than staying with you.
- Eviction is a court process, not a notice
- Chapter 24 of the Texas Property Code requires a written notice to vacate and then a suit in the justice court. Filing one you do not need adds months and puts a court record on a tenant for no benefit to you.
- Rent control is preempted
- Texas cities cannot impose rent control except in a housing emergency declared by the governing body and approved by the governor, so nothing local restricts what a buyer may charge after the lease ends.
- Prorated rent settles at closing
- Rent for the month of closing is divided on the settlement statement, along with the deposit, so nothing is left outstanding between you and a tenant after you no longer own the house.

Questions we get asked
Do I have to evict my tenants before selling?
No. A lease runs with the property, so we buy the house with the tenancy in place and take on the lease. Filing an eviction you do not need adds months and cost, and in Texas it puts a court record on the tenant for no benefit to you.
What if my tenant will not let anyone inside?
That is one of the main reasons landlords come to us. We do not need repeated showings — usually one visit, and sometimes we can work from photos and the rent roll where access is genuinely impossible. A retail listing needs continuous access, which an uncooperative tenant can simply refuse.
What happens to the security deposit?
It transfers to us at closing and appears on the settlement statement, along with prorated rent for the month. You are not left holding a deposit or reconciling it with a tenant after you no longer own the property.
Can I sell if my tenant is behind on rent?
Yes. Unpaid rent does not stop a sale. Tell us what is owed and how far behind they are so we price it properly — arrears that surface after an offer is the thing that changes numbers late, and we would rather know at the start.
