Bellefontaine, OH · Logan County · Tenant-occupied houses
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Yes. You can sell a Bellefontaine house with tenants still living there. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease: it typically stays with the house, and we become the landlord after closing. The tenant does not have to move out before closing just because the property sells.

What we do
We buy houses with tenants in place and talk through the lease, who lives there, rent, access, repairs, and the handoff. You do not have to solve the tenancy before starting the sale conversation.
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 selling with the tenant in place is not what you want, tell us what a move-out plan would need to look like. We can discuss whether cash-for-keys may work better for everyone.
Bring us the problem
Is access difficult, are repairs piling up, or are you unsure what the lease or deposit record says? Tell us what is happening with the tenancy and the house. Call even if the notices, access plan, or repairs are not sorted out yet.

Ohio leases, notice, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease. The lease typically stays with the house, and we become the landlord after closing, so a tenant does not have to move out before closing just because you sell.
If you want to end a month-to-month tenancy, Ohio Rev. Code § 5321.17 requires 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.
Security deposits typically transfer to us at closing. Keep the deposit record with the lease details as you discuss the handoff.
