What Does Texas Landlord-Tenant Law Say About Selling Rental Property in Houston?
Texas law (Property Code Title 8) allows a rental property to be sold with tenants in place — the lease transfers to the new owner, who then becomes the tenant's landlord. There's no requirement to evict before selling.
Should You Sell to a Cash Buyer or Use a Traditional Landlord Exit in Houston?
Selling a tenant-occupied Houston property traditionally is genuinely difficult — most retail buyers want a vacant home. Cash buyers routinely purchase occupied rentals, taking over the lease and the tenant relationship at closing.
