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.
If a move-out arrangement could work better for everyone, tell us. We can discuss whether cash-for-keys fits the situation; you can also ask about selling with the tenants in place.

New York leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease. In an ordinary sale, the existing lease and tenant protections generally stay in place, and the buyer becomes the landlord. A tenant does not have to move just because the house sells. Read the New York Attorney General's Residential Tenants' Rights Guide.
New York Real Property Law § 226-c — advance notice
If a tenancy can lawfully end, New York's required advance notice can be 30, 60, or 90 days depending on the tenant's occupancy and lease term. Good Cause Eviction and rent regulation can also limit nonrenewal.
Notice and a sale are separate from a tenant moving out. Do not assume that a sale date means the house will be vacant.
New York General Obligations Law § 7-105 — security deposits
At a sale, security deposits must be transferred to the new owner within five days or returned to tenants, with the required notice. Bring the lease, deposit records, and notices to closing.
