Can I Sell My Beaver Dam House With Tenants Still Living There?

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.

If a move-out plan with payment may work better for everyone, we can discuss cash-for-keys alongside the lease and timing. We can also discuss buying the house with the tenant still in place.

Lease timing, a tenant who limits access, repairs you do not want to make with someone living there, or uncertainty about rent and deposits can make a rental sale harder to plan. Tell us what is actually getting in the way. Call 888-274-5006 and talk through what you know; you do not have to solve every part first.

1. We discuss the Beaver Dam house, the lease, who lives there, access, rent and deposit records, repairs, and the timing you are considering.
2. We review the property and talk through whether the sale would keep the tenant in place or include a move-out plan.
3. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the proposed price and terms before deciding.
4. We give you the offer and terms in writing before you commit. If you decide to sell, the title company handles the closing. We discuss the closing details, including how the lease, rent, and security-deposit balance are accounted for.

You can sell while tenants are living in the house. In an ordinary sale, the lease generally stays in place and the new owner takes over the landlord’s obligations under it. Tenants do not have to leave just because the house sells, so the sale itself does not give you vacant possession.

If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, the usual rule is written notice at least 28 days before the end of the rental period. The lease and the reason for ending it can change what is required. That notice period is not an automatic move-out date created by the sale. See Wis. Stat. §§ 704.09(1)–(3) and 704.19(2)–(4) and the DATCP guide’s “Change of Ownership” section (printed page 12).

At closing, account for the lease, rent, and security-deposit balance. Keep the lease and current rent and deposit records together, then discuss how the handoff is documented with the title company.
