FAQs - Bad Tenants / Squatters in Kennewick, WA

Will Cash4HousesNow buy my Kennewick rental with non-paying tenants?

Yes. We routinely buy Kennewick, Washington rentals with tenants who haven't paid in months. The Washington 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 Kennewick property?

Squatter situations in Kennewick, Washington are some of the hardest to resolve as an owner. Washington squatter laws vary, and removing them can take months in court. Cash4HousesNow 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 Kennewick rental if eviction is already filed?

Yes. We can close with an eviction in progress in Washington. The lawsuit transfers to us as the new owner — your attorney can substitute Cash4HousesNow as plaintiff, or we file fresh. Either way, the eviction continues without interruption while you walk away from the entire situation. Many Kennewick landlords prefer this to seeing the eviction through.

What about my tenants' security deposit and lease?

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

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

The math depends on your time horizon. Evict-then-sell in Kennewick 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 Cash4HousesNow?

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. Washington also has seller disclosure requirements that we need accurate information to satisfy.
