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.
You can tell us whether you hope to sell with the tenants in place or want to discuss a move-out plan. We will talk through the house and the tenancy with you.
Bring us the problem
Is the lease unclear, access difficult, or a repair waiting on a tenant making it hard to plan? Tell us what is happening, what the lease says, and what you hope will happen next. Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above to start the conversation.
What happens next
1. Talk through the house and lease
We discuss the Auburn address, condition, occupancy, lease, access, repairs, rent, and the timing you have in mind.
2. Read the written offer
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can review the written price and terms before deciding whether to move forward.
3. Review the closing figures
The title company handles the closing. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Local help for an Auburn rental
Check which office serves the property address. City and county offices handle different questions; a recorded property document will not answer what a lease requires.
DeKalb County Recorder
The Recorder is the county office for property records. Use it for recorded-property questions, not for deciding lease terms or tenant rights.
DeKalb County Courts
Use the official county court page for court-related information if a possession case is already part of the situation.
Indiana leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
Selling the house does not by itself cancel the rental agreement. The lease and the tenant's occupancy still need to be accounted for in the sale and handoff.
If you are ending an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, notice generally has to cover one rental period. The lease and the reason for ending the tenancy can change what is required. A sale by itself is not notice to move out or an end to the lease. See Indiana Code § 32-31-1-4.
A sale also does not automatically erase the former landlord's security-deposit responsibility. Account for the deposit balance at closing; the transfer and the buyer's written notice accepting responsibility matter. See Indiana Code § 32-31-3-19 and the Indiana Court of Appeals decision May v. Sharp (September 25, 2025), pages 4–6.
We can talk through the lease, rent and occupancy details, deposit balance, and any written notices so the proposed handoff reflects the actual tenancy.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Auburn tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Auburn house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. 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.
Does selling the house end the lease?
No. A sale does not by itself cancel the rental agreement. The lease and occupancy need to be accounted for in the sale and handoff.
How much notice does a month-to-month tenant get in Indiana?
Ending an ordinary month-to-month tenancy generally takes notice equal to one rental period. The lease and the reason for ending it can change what is required.
What happens to the security deposit when I sell?
A sale does not automatically erase the former landlord's security-deposit responsibility. The deposit transfer and the buyer's written notice accepting responsibility matter, so account for the balance and handoff at closing.
