Selling Your Rental Property As-Is: What Landlords in Sacramento Need to Know
07/16/2025
Being a landlord isn’t always the passive income dream it’s cracked up to be. From bad tenants to never-ending repairs, the stress can pile up fast. If you're thinking, "I just want out," you're not alone.
Good news: You can sell your rental property as-is, even with tenants, damage, or overdue maintenance.
Let’s break down how it works and what to expect, no fluff, just real talk.
💭 Why Landlords Decide to Sell As-Is
Here’s what we hear from rental owners ready to let go:
“The tenants aren’t paying rent and won’t leave.”
“The place is falling apart, and I don’t have the time or money to fix it.”
“I live out of state and can’t manage it anymore.”
“I’m tired of the headaches. I just want a clean exit.”
If any of that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
What Does “As-Is” Really Mean?
When you sell a rental property as-is, you're selling it in its current condition, without making repairs, cleaning, or clearing out tenants.
No painting, plumbing, or staging
No fixing leaky roofs or broken windows
No costly inspections or open houses
Buyers know they’re taking on the property exactly how it stands.
🧯 But What If I Have Tenants?
This is one of the biggest concerns. The truth?
You can sell with tenants still in place, even problem ones.
There are two options:
Sell with tenants in place to an investor who wants a rental
Sell to a cash buyer (like us) who can work with you and deal with tenants directly, even through evictions if necessary
"I was completely overwhelmed. My tenants had stopped paying rent, the house needed repairs I couldn’t afford, and I just didn’t have the energy to deal with it anymore. I reached out to Ummah Homes expecting the usual sales pitch, but instead, Avi listened. He gave me a fair cash offer, handled everything with the tenants, and closed faster than I thought possible. It was the relief I didn’t know I needed."

What About the Legal Stuff?
Selling a tenant-occupied rental in California means you need to follow proper notice timelines and tenant rights. But don’t worry, if you work with someone who knows local rules, you won’t have to figure it all out alone.
At Ummah Homes, we handle that with respect and legal compliance, so you don’t have to deal with any confrontations or paperwork nightmares.
What Kind of Offer Can I Expect?
This depends on:
The property’s location and condition
If it's vacant or tenant-occupied
How much deferred maintenance there is
But the main benefit of selling as-is is speed and convenience ,not top dollar.
Still, many landlords walk away with fair cash offers without paying realtor commissions or closing costs.
Why “As-Is” Might Be Your Best Exit Strategy
Selling as-is is ideal if you want to:
Be done fast (sometimes in just 7–14 days)
Avoid pouring more money into the property
Stop worrying about late rent, property damage, or repairs
Walk away with cash in hand and peace of mind
