We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Tell us about the address, lease, occupancy, access, or repairs.
What we do with a tenant-occupied house
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We talk through the house and tenancy together, including the lease, access, condition, and the repairs that have been difficult to coordinate around tenants.
You don't 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 property and tenancy.
If a move-out arrangement may work better for everyone, we can discuss it alongside selling with the tenants in place. You do not have to arrange a move-out before talking with us.
Bring us the tenancy or access problem
A lease question, access that is hard to arrange, repairs that keep getting put off, or a tenant move-out conversation? Call us and explain what is happening. Start with what you know; you do not have to solve the tenancy before asking about a sale.
What happens next
1. We talk through the house and tenancy
We discuss the Arkansas City address, who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the house's condition, and the timing you have in mind. Rent, deposit, or tenant-notice details can be part of the conversation too.
2. We give you the offer and terms in writing
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can review the written offer and terms before deciding whether to proceed.
3. We account for the tenancy at closing
If you choose to move ahead, the lease, occupancy, access arrangements, tenant notices, and deposit information are part of the sale discussion. We put the purchase terms in writing before you commit, and closing is through a title company.

Kansas leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
You can sell a Kansas rental with tenants in it. In an ordinary sale, the lease stays in place and the buyer becomes the landlord. Ending a tenancy and returning a deposit are separate from selling the house.
K.S.A. 58-2554 — selling a rental
A sale does not by itself end the lease or require the tenant to move. After a good-faith sale and written notice to the tenant, the seller is generally released from later lease obligations but remains responsible for any security deposit the tenant is owed.
K.S.A. 58-2570 — notice for a month-to-month tenancy
If you choose to end a month-to-month tenancy, Kansas requires at least 30 days' written notice. That notice is about ending the tenancy; you do not have to end it just to sell with the tenant in place.
K.S.A. 58-2551 — deposit handoff and tenant contact details
Kansas law sets no deadline for handing the security deposit to the buyer. The deposit balance and who holds it can be addressed as part of the sale. Owner and manager contact information given to tenants must be kept current.
K.S.A. 58-2550 — returning the deposit
Whoever owns the property when the tenancy ends must return the remaining deposit within 14 days after figuring out deductions, and no more than 30 days after the tenancy ends, the tenant moves out, and asks for it.

Questions about selling a house with tenants in Arkansas City
Can I sell my Arkansas City house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can sell with tenants in place. A sale does not by itself end the lease or require the tenants to move; in an ordinary sale, the buyer becomes the landlord.
Do I have to evict before I talk with USA Home Buyers?
You don't 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 property and tenancy.
Does selling the house cancel the lease?
No. Selling does not by itself cancel the lease. In an ordinary sale, the existing lease stays in place and the buyer becomes the landlord.
How much notice applies to a month-to-month tenancy?
If you choose to end a month-to-month tenancy, Kansas requires at least 30 days of written notice. That rule is about ending the tenancy, not a requirement to end it before selling the house.
What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?
Kansas law sets no deadline for handing a security deposit to the buyer. After a good-faith sale and written notice to the tenant, the seller is generally released from later lease obligations but remains responsible for any deposit the tenant is owed.
Who returns the deposit when the tenancy ends?
The owner responsible when the tenancy ends must return the remaining balance within 14 days after figuring out deductions, and no more than 30 days after the tenancy ends, the tenant moves out, and asks for it.
