Boise, ID seller help · Tenant-occupied property

You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.

Sell your Boise, Idaho house with tenants still living there. A sale does not cancel the lease; the buyer takes the house subject to it. We buy houses as-is in Boise and Ada County.

Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. You can talk through the lease, access, repairs, and occupancy without first solving every tenancy question.

What we do

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not have to turn the rental over or make it vacant before you talk with 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. Tell us what is happening with the lease and what kind of handoff you want.

Bring us the tenant problem

Lease timing, access for a look at the house, repairs the tenant has raised, or a possible move-out plan? Call and tell us what is going on. We can discuss the situation with you; you do not need to have every answer before the conversation.

If a move-out arrangement is part of the discussion, the terms and timing depend on the people involved and the tenancy. Cash-for-keys may work better for everyone in some situations.

What happens next

  1. 1. We discuss the house and lease

    Tell us who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the house condition, and what you know about rent and deposits. You can start the conversation while tenants are still there.

  2. 2. We put the offer and terms in writing

    We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. Read the written offer and terms before you decide whether to move forward.

    Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

  3. 3. You agree on the handoff and close

    If you choose to sell, discuss the occupancy and deposit handoff alongside the house and written terms. The lease and applicable notice rules still matter; a sale alone does not set a tenant move-out date.

Idaho lease, possession, notice, and deposit rules

A sale by itself does not end a tenancy. If the house sells while tenants remain, the buyer takes it subject to the lease and becomes the new landlord. The lease, notices, occupancy, and deposit records shape the handoff.

Lease and possession

You can discuss a sale with tenants still in the house. Do not assume that selling changes a fixed-term lease or creates a move-out date. If you want the house vacant, discuss the lease term and possession plan before agreeing on the handoff.

Written notice

For a month-to-month tenancy, a landlord must give the tenant at least one month's written notice to end it; a tenant who is leaving must also give at least one month's written notice. See Idaho Code §55-208 and the Idaho Court Assistance Office landlord and tenant guide.

Idaho also requires at least 30 days' written notice before a rent increase or before not renewing a residential lease. A fixed-term lease and other protections may require a different approach. See Idaho Code §55-304.

Security deposits

Idaho law makes the new owner responsible for refunding security deposits paid during the tenancy. As a practical closing handoff, account for the deposit balance, credit it to the buyer, and tell the tenant in writing who holds it now. When the tenancy ends, the landlord must return the deposit, less lawful deductions, within 21 days or within up to 30 days if the lease says so. Any deductions need a signed, itemized list, and normal wear and tear cannot be deducted. See Idaho Code §6-321.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers

Boise tenant-occupied seller questions

Can I sell a Boise rental house while tenants are still living there?

Yes. A sale does not cancel the lease. If the house sells with tenants in place, the buyer takes it subject to the lease and becomes the new landlord. We buy houses with tenants in place, so you can call to discuss the property and tenancy before deciding what to do about possession.

Do I have to evict before I call?

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.

What happens to the security deposit when I sell?

Idaho law makes the new owner responsible for refunding a security deposit paid during the tenancy. As part of the handoff, account for the deposit balance and who holds it, and tell the tenant in writing who holds it now. When the tenancy ends, the deposit is due within 21 days, or within up to 30 days if the lease says so, subject to lawful deductions.

How much notice is needed to end a tenancy or raise rent?

For a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord must give at least one month's written notice to end it, and a tenant who is leaving must also give at least one month's written notice. Idaho also requires at least 30 days' written notice before a rent increase or before not renewing a residential lease. A fixed-term lease and other protections may call for a different approach.

What should I have ready before we talk?

Start with what you know about the Boise property, who lives there, the lease, access, repairs, deposits, and timing. You can call before every tenancy or possession question is settled.
