We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Tell us what you know about the Ashland house and tenancy.
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 have in mind. You can discuss a sale without making the property vacant first.
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 tenant move may work better for everyone, tell us. We can discuss whether a move-out arrangement belongs in the plan; any agreement should be written down and fit the lease and applicable requirements.
Lease timing, limited access, missed rent, repair needs, or a difficult tenant conversation can all affect the sale. Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening. You do not have to resolve every tenancy question before you call.
Share the address and what you know about the lease, who lives there, access, repairs, rent, deposit records, and timing. Start with what you know; you do not have to make the house vacant before calling.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You can read the proposed price and written terms before deciding.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. The lease, occupancy plan, deposit balance, and prorated rent can be discussed as part of the written handoff.
These Boyd County and Ashland offices handle distinct court, land-record, valuation, and city-tax questions. Their records do not decide lease rights or a sale price.
The Circuit Clerk is the local contact for court-case records, at 2805 Louisa Street in Catlettsburg. The Kentucky Court of Justice also lists Boyd County court information. This is separate from the Boyd County Clerk, which records land documents.
The Clerk lists an Ashland office at 1505 Carter Avenue, Suite 100, and a main office in Catlettsburg. The county describes land-document and will-recording duties; confirm current services and hours with the Clerk.
Use the City's property-tax page for city-tax billing questions. City tax billing and county property valuation are separate; the Boyd County Property Valuation Administrator handles valuation questions.
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease or set a tenant's move-out date. Kentucky law allows a sale without the tenant's consent, and the buyer takes over as landlord under the existing lease. If you want the house vacant, the lease and applicable process still matter.
KRS 383.100 says the sale is valid without the tenant's consent. If a tenant pays rent to the former owner before receiving notice of the sale, the tenant is not liable to pay that rent a second time. Tell each tenant in writing who the new owner is and where rent should be paid. Read KRS 383.100.
Kentucky has no statewide rule for moving a security deposit at a sale. The state's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act applies only in cities and counties that adopted it, so do not assume it applies to every address. Read KRS 383.500 on local adoption.
In a jurisdiction that adopted the act, deposits must be kept in a separate bank account. A seller who sells in good faith is relieved of liability only for events after the tenant receives written notice of the sale. For a clear handoff, account for each deposit balance and prorated rent at closing, transfer the agreed amounts to the buyer, and tell each tenant in writing who now holds the deposit. Confirm the arrangement for this sale with the closing professionals. Read KRS 383.580 on deposit accounts and KRS 383.600 on a seller's liability after written notice.
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses with tenants in place, so you can discuss a sale while the house is occupied. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease; the buyer takes over as landlord under the existing lease.
Kentucky law says the sale is valid without the tenant’s consent. The lease does not end just because ownership changes.
A tenant who pays the former owner before getting notice of the sale is not liable to pay that rent a second time. Tell tenants in writing who the new owner is and where to pay rent.
Kentucky has no statewide rule for moving a security deposit at a sale. In a city or county that adopted Kentucky’s landlord-tenant act, the deposit must be kept in a separate bank account, and a good-faith seller is relieved of liability only for events after the tenant receives written notice of the sale. A practical handoff is to account for deposits and prorated rent at closing and tell each tenant in writing who now holds the deposit.
No. You can call while tenants are still in the house. Selling the property does not itself cancel the lease or set a move-out date, so any possession plan still needs to account for the lease and applicable process.
Kentucky’s landlord-tenant act applies only in cities and counties that adopted it. KRS 383.500 addresses local adoption; do not assume the act applies to an address without checking the jurisdiction.
