“Work With Pros Who Care”
You’ve got a tenant on a month-to-month lease, and you’re thinking about selling.
Maybe the property isn’t cash flowing like it used to.
Maybe you’re tired of being a landlord.
Or maybe you’ve got better places to put your money.
Here’s the good news:
You can sell a house in Washington even if your tenant is on a month-to-month lease.
Let’s break down how it works.
Understanding Month-to-Month Tenancy in Washington
In Washington, a month-to-month lease is a rental agreement that renews every 30 days unless terminated by proper notice.
You can sell a property while it’s rented, but the buyer needs to know:
- The tenant’s rights remain valid
- You may need to give 60 or 90 days’ notice depending on local laws
- Or, you can sell to an investor who’ll keep the tenant in place
What Are Your Options?
🏠 Option 1: Wait and Give Notice
You can notify the tenant (in writing) of your intent to sell and either:
- End the lease with proper notice, or
- Let the buyer inherit the tenant
Washington’s laws vary by city and county, so make sure you follow the rules in areas like King County, Pierce County, and Yakima County.
💰 Option 2: Sell to an Investor With Tenant in Place
At REI Branded Home Buyer, we buy houses all over Washington — even with active month-to-month tenants still living there.
You don’t need to:
- Evict
- Wait 60+ days
- Clean or renovate
- List with an agent

About REI Branded Home Buyer
Real People. Real Stories. Real Solutions. We’re George and TJ — two regular guys who teamed up to create REI Branded Home Buyer, a local company with one simple mission: to help people sell their homes without stress, games, or pressure. We actually met at a local real estate meetup. A mutual friend randomly shouted, “Hey George, do you want to be this guy’s mentor?” George laughed and said, “Just give him my cell!” A coffee meeting later, and the rest is history. We've been working together ever since. Our passion for helping homeowners comes from personal experience. George was once homeless, so he deeply understands what it’s like to face housing uncertainty. TJ’s family went through a crisis and had to sell their home fast — with the help of a cash homebuyer. Those experiences shaped who we are and inspired us to create a company that treats people the way we wish we’d been treated. Let’s be real: the real estate world is full of shady companies, pushy salespeople, and sleazy homebuyers who care more about profit than people. We started REI Branded Home Buyer because we believe it should be the other way around — people first, profit second. We’re proud to call Spokane home. Our wives, Jenny and Michelle, love the slower pace of life here and all the outdoor beauty Washington has to offer. George and Jenny have two amazing daughters and two dogs — they love to travel and recently visited Japan to see their daughter abroad. TJ and Michelle are outdoor lovers through and through — backpacking, hiking, hunting, fishing, even rock climbing. Michelle’s become quite the mountaineer! If you’re thinking about selling a house — no matter the reason — we’d love to hear your story and see how we can help.
