Share the address and what is happening with the house and tenancy.
What we do
We talk through the house and tenancy together: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, what rent and deposits are involved, and what timing you are considering.
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.
If helping the tenants move may work better for everyone, tell us. We can discuss whether a cash-for-keys arrangement fits the property and tenancy.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, a difficult access schedule, repairs that are hard to coordinate with someone living there, or a move-out conversation getting in the way? Tell us what is happening with the Arcadia house and tenancy.
Call 888-274-5006 and start with what you know.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
Tell us what you know about the Arcadia property, who lives there, the lease, access, condition, rent, deposit balance, and timing. You can start with what you know.
2. We discuss the sale and put terms in writing
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
3. The closing discussion accounts for the handoff
If you decide to move forward, a title company handles the closing. Account for the lease, rent, and security-deposit balance when arranging it; the Wisconsin section below explains how an ordinary sale affects the lease and what notice may apply if you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy.
Local and Wisconsin rental help
The City of Arcadia and Town of Arcadia are separate municipalities. A postal address alone does not establish which one covers a property. For a boundary-edge address, confirm the current jurisdiction with the City or County before relying on a municipal contact.
City of Arcadia licensing and permits
The City's permit page identifies the City Clerk as the contact for municipal permit questions. City Hall is at 945 Dettloff Drive, Arcadia, WI 54612; the main number is (608) 323-3359.
The City's maps page includes a corporate-boundaries map labeled 2012. For a boundary-edge property, confirm present jurisdiction with the City or County rather than treating that older map as a parcel determination. View City maps.
Trempealeau County Register of Deeds
The County's recording and land-records office is at the Trempealeau County Courthouse, 18600 Hobson Street, Whitehall, WI 54773-8614. Call 715-538-2311 ext. 274 about recorded property documents; those records are separate from lease questions.
Wisconsin tenant rights, notice, possession, and security deposits
An ordinary sale generally leaves the lease in place. The new owner takes over the landlord's obligations under it, and tenants do not have to leave just because the house sells.
Wis. Stat. §704.09(1)–(3) — lease after a sale
The sale itself does not cancel an ordinary lease. The new owner takes over the landlord's obligations under it; tenants do not have to move just because the property sold.
Wis. Stat. §704.19(2)–(4) — month-to-month notice
If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, the usual rule is written notice at least 28 days before the end of the rental period. The lease and the reason for ending it can change what is required, so this is not a rule for every tenancy.
Possession follows the tenancy, not the sale date
Tenants do not have to leave just because the house sells. A sale by itself does not make the property vacant; what happens next depends on the lease and the applicable process.
Rent and security-deposit balance at closing
Account for the lease, rent, and security-deposit balance when arranging the closing. Keep the current information together for the handoff discussion.
