What we do
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone.
Tell us about the lease, occupancy, rent or deposit arrangement, access, and any repairs. We can discuss whether a tenant move-out arrangement may work better for everyone; you do not have to arrange one before calling.

New York Attorney General tenant-rights guide
This statewide guide is a useful starting point for New York residential-tenancy questions. For the notice and deposit rules that matter at a sale, see the state-law links below as well.
New York leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease and tenant protections in place, and the buyer becomes the landlord. You can discuss selling while the house is occupied; the sale itself does not make the tenants move.
Notice and possession depend on the tenancy
If a tenancy can lawfully end, New York's advance-notice period can be 30, 60, or 90 days, depending on the tenant's occupancy and lease term. Good Cause Eviction and rent regulation can also limit nonrenewal. See New York Real Property Law §226-c and the Attorney General's Residential Tenants' Rights Guide.
Account for the security deposit
At a sale, New York law requires the security deposit to be transferred to the new owner within five days or returned to the tenants, with the required notice. See New York General Obligations Law §7-105.
