Benton, IL seller help · Tenant-occupied property
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Benton, Illinois, and Franklin County, including houses with tenants still in place. After you sell to us, you leave the landlord role. The sale itself does not cancel an existing lease or tell a tenant to move.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. Tell us about the lease, access, or repairs before deciding what to do about the tenancy.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Share the address and what is happening with the lease, occupancy, access, or repairs.
You don't 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.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
If a tenant move-out arrangement might work better for everyone, tell us. We can discuss that option alongside selling with the tenant in place.
Tell us what is happening with the lease, rent, access, repairs, or communication with the tenant. Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through; you do not need to settle the possession question before asking about a sale.
We talk about the Benton address, who lives there, what the lease says, access, repairs, deposit records, and the timing you have in mind. Start with what you know; nothing has to be perfectly organized before you call.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You can read the proposed price and terms before deciding whether to proceed.
If you choose to proceed, the title company and closing professionals review the sale documents. The lease, occupancy, security deposit, prepaid rent, and any agreed handoff terms are part of that discussion.

The County lists the courthouse and Circuit Clerk at 100 Public Square in Benton. Use the Clerk’s official page for court-record and filing information.
For deeds, land records, and recording instructions, the County lists the Clerk & Recorder at the Government Annex, 901 Public Square in Benton. Check the office page for current details.
An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place. A tenant does not have to move just because the house sells, and selling with the tenant in place does not itself give you possession of the house.
Illinois generally requires 30 days’ written notice to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy. Local rules and the lease can require more. A notice period is not a move-out date created by the sale; the lease and applicable possession steps still matter.
Security deposits and prepaid rent need to be accounted for at closing. An ordinary sale does not automatically release the previous landlord from those obligations. Keep the lease and payment records together for the closing discussion.
“LISTEN, PROPERTY TAXES GOT TOO HIGH FOR MY FIXED INCOME. SOLD IT TO THEM. WALKED AWAY WITH CASH. GLAD IT'S OVER.”
“Facing foreclosure ... Very stressful time... They handled it professionally and got me out of the debt...”
“no open houses. no realtors tracking dirt in. just a straight cash sale for our house so we could move. Glad it's over.”
