We Understand
Why This Situation Is Hard
Bad tenants turn your investment into a nightmare. They stop paying rent, damage the property, and refuse to leave. You do not have to fight a months-long eviction battle. We buy your house with the tenants still in it.
Problem tenants turn your investment into a nightmare. They stop paying rent but refuse to leave. They damage the property, violate lease terms, or run illegal operations from your home. The Missouri eviction process takes a minimum of 30 to 45 days even when everything goes smoothly [VERIFY], and often longer when tenants fight back or file for hardship extensions. During that time, you receive zero rental income while still paying the mortgage, taxes, and insurance. Even after a successful eviction, you are left with a damaged, dirty home that needs thousands in repairs before it can be relisted. Many landlords in St. Louis reach a breaking point where the financial and emotional toll of fighting bad tenants exceeds any benefit of keeping the property.

Problem Tenants and the Missouri Eviction Process
Removing a non-paying or destructive tenant in St. Louis requires filing an unlawful detainer lawsuit in the local circuit court. The process takes 30 to 45 days minimum when everything goes smoothly, and tenants can request hardship stays or file appeals that extend the timeline by weeks or months. During that time you receive zero rent but still pay the mortgage, taxes, and insurance. Even after a successful eviction, many St. landlords are left with a damaged, dirty home that needs thousands in repairs.
We buy houses with bad tenants still in place throughout the St. Louis metro. You do not need to evict, clean, or repair anything. We take over the property with the tenants inside and handle the entire eviction and cleanup process ourselves after closing. This is often the fastest way for St. Louis landlords to stop the financial bleed and walk away from a nightmare situation.
Your Options
Compare Your Choices
Evicting and then listing traditionally means months of zero income, legal fees, and repair costs before you can even put the home on the market. A cash sale lets you walk away now with the tenants still inside.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We buy houses with bad tenants still in place. You do not need to evict them first. We take over the property and handle the eviction process ourselves after closing.
No. We buy the property as-is, whatever condition the tenants left it in. You do not need to clean, repair, or remove anything. We handle all of that.
A tenant-occupied sale involves tenants who may be paying rent and following the lease. A bad tenant or eviction sale involves non-paying, destructive, or hostile tenants who refuse to leave. We handle both, but the bad tenant situation requires us to manage the eviction after closing.
We can close in as little as 7 to 14 days. Because we pay cash and do not require the tenants to be removed first, there is nothing standing between you and a fast sale.
You will receive a fair cash offer that accounts for the tenant situation and property condition. While the offer may be lower than a vacant, move-in-ready sale, you save months of lost rent, legal fees, and repair costs.
