Sell Your Las Vegas Rental Property, Tenants and All
You can sell a rental in Nevada with the tenants still living there. The lease and the tenant’s rights transfer to the buyer. We buy Las Vegas rentals as-is with tenants in place, including tenants who are behind on rent, so you don’t have to wait for a vacancy, make repairs or handle an eviction before you sell.
Ways to sell a tenant-occupied rental
| Approach | How it works | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Wait for the lease to end, then list | Give proper notice, turn the unit, repair and list | Months of vacancy and repair costs, and the tenant may not cooperate with showings |
| Sell to another landlord | List as an investment with the lease in place | Smaller buyer pool; investors expect a discount |
| Cash-for-keys, then sell | Pay the tenant to move out by an agreed date | Upfront cost and no guarantee they leave on time |
| Sell to us with tenants in place | We buy as-is and take over the lease | The price reflects condition and occupancy |
What we need from you
- A copy of the lease (or details if it’s month-to-month)
- Rent amount, deposit held, and whether the tenant is current
- Any notices already served
Security deposits are transferred or credited to the buyer at closing, and the tenant is told who the new owner is. We handle that with the title company.
Problem tenants
Behind on rent, damage, or a tenant who won’t leave: we’ve bought rentals in all of those situations. You don’t need to finish an eviction first. See selling a rental with a tenant who isn’t paying and when a tenant won’t leave.
Common questions
Do I have to tell my tenant I’m selling?
You’ll need their cooperation for a walkthrough, with proper notice as the lease and Nevada law require. Many tenants are relieved to hear the lease continues.
Can you buy more than one rental at once?
Yes. We buy single properties and small portfolios.
What about capital gains and depreciation recapture?
Selling a rental can trigger taxes. Ask your CPA whether a 1031 exchange or another strategy makes sense before you sign.
