We take the property as-is and handle the tenant situation post-closing.

FAQs - Bad Tenants / Squatters in Marietta, GA

Will BuyHousesInCash buy my Marietta rental with non-paying tenants?

Yes. We routinely buy Marietta, Georgia rentals with tenants who haven't paid in months. The Georgia eviction process can take 30-90 days or longer, costing you in lost rent and legal fees. Selling to us cuts that loss — you transfer the property and the tenant problem to us at closing. We absorb the eviction time, you walk with cash.

What if there are squatters in my Marietta property?

Squatter situations in Marietta, Georgia are some of the hardest to resolve as an owner. Georgia squatter laws vary, and removing them can take months in court. BuyHousesInCash buys properties with squatters in place — we have the resources, attorneys, and patience to handle the removal. Your offer reflects the squatter complication, but we will close.

Can I sell my Marietta rental if eviction is already filed?

Yes. We can close with an eviction in progress in Georgia. The lawsuit transfers to us as the new owner — your attorney can substitute BuyHousesInCash as plaintiff, or we file fresh. Either way, the eviction continues without interruption while you walk away from the entire situation. Many Marietta landlords prefer this to seeing the eviction through.

What about my tenants' security deposit and lease?

Georgia requires security deposits to transfer to the new owner at closing. We accept that transfer and assume the lease obligations. Marietta tenants with valid leases continue under the same terms post-sale — that's both Georgia law and federal law (PTFA). At lease expiration, we decide whether to renew, sell, or leave vacant.

How much will I lose selling a Marietta rental with bad tenants vs. evicting first?

The math depends on your time horizon. Evict-then-sell in Marietta averages 60-120 days plus $2,000-$5,000 in attorney/court costs plus continued lost rent. Sell-with-tenants is typically 7-14 days but reduces our offer by roughly the cost of completing the eviction ourselves. Most tired landlords come out similar net, with months less stress.

Will I need to disclose the tenant situation when selling to BuyHousesInCash?

Yes — we want full disclosure. Lease terms, payment history, prior eviction filings, security deposits, complaints, anything ongoing. Hiding tenant issues to inflate offer creates problems at closing. We discount for the situation upfront based on full information. Georgia also has seller disclosure requirements that we need accurate information to satisfy.
