What we do
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can talk through the lease, occupancy, rent, access, and repairs even if you do not have every detail settled.

We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You get the written offer and written terms before you commit.

If you choose to accept, the closing is through a title company. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes. This does not include your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Local help for a Bridgeport rental
Connecticut Department of Banking — Rental Security Deposits
This statewide resource explains Connecticut rental-deposit rules. The Department also publishes the deposit index and interest rates landlords use to calculate annual tenant interest.
Connecticut tenant rights, possession, and deposits
In an ordinary sale, the buyer becomes the new landlord and the existing lease generally stays in effect. Selling the house by itself does not cancel the lease or give you possession. Whether a tenancy can end, and when, depends on the lease and Connecticut's notice-to-quit and eviction rules. A notice to quit is a formal notice used to start the process of ending a tenancy; it does not make the sale itself a move-out order.
Some tenants in buildings with five or more units — including tenants who are 62 or older or have a disability — can be evicted only for good cause, meaning a legally recognized reason. A change of ownership does not count as good cause. This protection took effect October 1, 2026.
At transfer, Connecticut requires the seller to take the tenants' security deposits and earned interest out of escrow and deliver them to the buyer. Landlords must pay tenants interest each year at no less than the rate set by the Banking Commissioner. The new owner is responsible for returning deposits when tenancies end, even if the prior owner did not hand them over. We can discuss the lease and deposit details so they are accounted for in the sale.

Can I sell my Bridgeport house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys tenant-occupied houses in Bridgeport. In an ordinary sale, the buyer becomes the new landlord and existing leases generally stay in effect; the sale by itself does not end a tenancy.
Does selling the house end the lease or make the tenant leave?
No. A sale by itself does not cancel a lease or end a tenancy. Whether and how a tenancy can end depends on the lease and Connecticut notice-to-quit and eviction rules. Some tenants in buildings with five or more units — including tenants who are 62 or older or have a disability — can be evicted only for good cause, and a change of ownership is not itself good cause.
What happens to security deposits when the house is sold?
At the transfer, the seller must transfer the tenants’ security deposits and earned interest to the buyer, taking them out of escrow. The new owner is responsible for returning deposits when tenancies end, even if the prior owner did not hand them over.
