What we do with a tenant-occupied Ashland house
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We buy in Ashland and Ashland County, including houses with tenants in place.
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 property and tenancy.
A sale does not by itself cancel the lease. It typically stays with the house, and we become the landlord after closing. If you would rather sell with the tenant still there, you can start that conversation now.

Ohio leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
The lease and possession
Selling the house does not by itself cancel the lease. The lease typically stays with the house, and the tenant does not have to move out before closing just because the property sold. We become the landlord after closing.
Notice if you want to end the tenancy
Ohio Rev. Code § 5321.17 says ending a month-to-month tenancy takes written notice at least 30 days before the next rent due date. For a week-to-week tenancy, the notice period is 7 days. Read Ohio Rev. Code § 5321.17. A sale itself does not cancel the lease.
Security deposits
Security deposits typically transfer to us at closing. Keep the lease and deposit information together for the handoff conversation.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
Questions about selling a rental with tenants in Ashland
Can I sell my Ashland house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place in Ashland and Ashland County. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease; it typically stays with the house, and the tenant does not have to move out before closing just because the property sells.
Do I have to evict before I call or sell to you?
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 property and tenancy.
