Selling a Sicklerville Rental House When You Are Done Landlording

Tired rentals show up in Sicklerville's local data as a recurring reason owners sell. The routine wears on anyone who has done it for a few years: a late payment, a phone call about the water heater, a vacancy, a turnover. At some point the monthly rent does not seem worth the effort.

What’s different in Sicklerville

Does the lead rule apply to your house?

New Jersey requires lead-based paint inspections of single-family, two-family and multiple rental dwellings built before 1978, every three years or at tenant turnover, whichever comes first. Dwellings built in 1978 or later are exempt, as are seasonal rentals used less than six months a year. The city data describes newer subdivisions in Sicklerville, so check the year built before you assume the rule applies. If yours is older and a turnover is near, a lead-safe certificate is valid for two years.

Rental gain is not a home-sale gain

The state tax guide describes the principal residence exclusion and says a principal residence does not include property rented to someone else. Gain is reported as a capital gain calculated the same way as for federal purposes. Depreciation you claimed, the purchase price and improvements all feed into basis. A tax professional should run those numbers before you pick a closing date.

Outlying lots and septic

Winslow Township includes newer subdivisions around Sicklerville and rural and older village properties around Atco, inside the Pinelands planning area. County and Pinelands sources say outlying properties may use wells or septic. If your rental is on a septic system, its condition can come up in a sale. Keep the pump-out records and tell the tenants a buyer may need access.

Checklist before you sell

  • Leases, addenda and the rent roll for the last year
  • Security deposits held and the account they are in
  • Year the house was built, and the date of any lead-safe certificate
  • Repair history, invoices and any Township notices
  • Mortgage payoff and the latest Camden County tax bill
  • Tenant contact information and a plan for access
  • Your depreciation records, for your tax professional

How Kaizen can help

Call or text 267-329-0084 with the address, the lease end date and what you know about repairs. We view the house and send a cash offer within 24 hours. Occupied or vacant, you do not need to repaint, replace flooring or fix the small things a tenant left behind. Photos of each room help, and so does a note on which appliances stay.

If the tenants are leaving, we can close after the move-out. If not, we discuss the lease. We cannot promise a price before we see the house, and a retail listing may bring more if the house is in good shape. Run both numbers after commission, turnover costs and the months of rent you could lose between tenants. If the retail number wins, list it. If the certainty of a date matters more to you, the cash offer deserves a close look.

Tired Landlord in Sicklerville: questions

Do I have to evict before I sell?

Not necessarily. Many rentals sell occupied. Ask a landlord-tenant attorney what your lease says and what New Jersey law requires before you promise a move-out date.

Does a new lead inspection come with a sale?

The state rule ties inspections to a three-year cycle and tenant turnover for houses built before 1978. A buyer may still ask to see your certificate. Ask your attorney.

Can I use the home-sale exclusion on a rental?

The state guide says a principal residence does not include property you rent to someone else. A tax professional can tell you whether any part of the exclusion applies.

What is the fee for selling in New Jersey?

The tax guide says the seller pays the Realty Transfer Fee at closing, based on the sale price. The settlement agent shows the exact amount on your statement.
