“How REI Branded Home Buyer Makes It Easy”
Thinking about selling a Spokane rental but your tenant is on a month-to-month lease? You’re not stuck—and you don’t have to wait months to make a move. In fact, a month-to-month situation can make your property more flexible to sell than one with a long-term lease.
Let’s break down how it works and what your options are if you want to sell your Spokane house with a month-to-month tenant.
First: Yes, You Can Sell a Rental With Month-to-Month Tenants
Washington law allows landlords to sell tenant-occupied properties—even if someone is still living in the home. And month-to-month leases can make this easier because they’re terminable with proper notice (usually 60 or 90 days).
We’ve helped landlords sell rentals in North Spokane, Garland District, and even Cheney. Some tenants moved out before closing, others stayed and worked with the new buyer. Both routes are possible.
What Kind of Notice Do You Need to Give?
In Spokane and throughout Washington, you typically need to give:
- 60 days’ notice for a no-cause termination of a month-to-month tenancy
- 90 days’ notice if the property is being sold to an owner-occupant
- Additional notice may apply depending on your city’s rules
It’s always best to consult Washington landlord-tenant law or an attorney to ensure you’re compliant.
Option 1: Sell With the Tenant in Place
This is the simplest route if your tenant is cooperative. Here’s how it works:
- We buy your house as-is
- Your tenant stays put and keeps paying rent
- We handle communication with the tenant moving forward
This works great for investors like us who want to keep the tenant in place.
Option 2: Provide Notice and Sell Vacant
If the buyer wants to live in the home, you’ll need to give the required notice before closing. We can help guide you through that process, or buy the property and manage the transition ourselves.

Real Example From Spokane
A landlord in South Hill was tired of managing a single rental with a month-to-month tenant. They didn’t want to serve notice and risk friction. We stepped in, made a cash offer, and bought it with the tenant still in place—no drama, no delay.

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.
