Can I Sell a Spokane Rental Property With Tenants in Lease?

How to Sell a Rental Property With Tenants in Spokane, WA

“Why Landlords Choose REI Branded Home Buyer”

Being a landlord in Spokane isn’t always a forever game. Sometimes it’s time to move on—whether you’re tired of property management, cashing out, or simplifying your life.

But what if you’ve got tenants locked into a lease?

Can you still sell your rental property in Spokane?

The short answer: Yes, absolutely.
The long answer: You need to know your legal options—and who your buyer is.

Let’s break it down.


Yes, You Can Sell a Property With an Active Lease in Spokane

Under Washington state landlord-tenant law, a lease doesn’t disappear just because you sell the property.

If a tenant has:

  • A fixed-term lease (e.g., 1-year agreement), the new owner must honor that lease until it ends.
  • A month-to-month lease, the new owner may issue proper notice to terminate—but that must follow legal timelines (typically 60–90 days depending on situation).

So yes, you can sell. But who will buy?

That’s where REI Branded Home Buyer comes in.


We Buy Spokane Rentals With Active Tenants

At REI Branded Home Buyer, we specialize in buying properties that come with a lease.
We buy all across Spokane, including:

Whether the lease ends next month or next year, we can step in and take over ownership while respecting the tenant’s rights.

We even keep tenants in place if the property is in decent shape and has cash flow.


Pros of Selling With a Lease in Place

  • ✅ No need to vacate or evict tenants
  • ✅ You keep collecting rent until the sale closes
  • ✅ No vacant property risk or utility costs
  • ✅ Faster sale if selling to an investor (like us)

Real Example: Selling a Rental in Logan Neighborhood

A Spokane landlord contacted us recently about selling her duplex in the Logan Neighborhood. One side had tenants with 9 months left on their lease. She didn’t want to wait that long and didn’t want to risk breaking the lease illegally.

We made a fair cash offer, honored the lease, and closed within 12 days.

She got peace of mind. The tenants got to stay.
Everyone won.


How the Process Works

  1. Reach out with basic info about the property and lease.
  2. We evaluate the home and current rental terms.
  3. You get a no-obligation cash offer.
  4. We close on your timeline—even with tenants still there.

No cleaning. No repairs. No legal hassle.

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.
