Brookings, SD seller help · Tenant-occupied property
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Yes, we buy Brookings houses while tenants are still living there. You can talk with us about the lease and what is happening before deciding what to do next.
Call 888-274-5006 or tell us about the house in the form. You do not have to settle the tenancy before you 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.
If a move-out would work better for everyone, we can talk with you about cash-for-keys. We will listen to what the lease says and what you want to happen with the house.
Lease timing, limited access, or repairs making the sale harder? Tell us what is going on. We can talk through the lease, who is living there, and access to the house together.
Call 888-274-5006. Not sure what to do first? Call us — we'll sort it out with you.
We discuss the lease, who lives in the house, its condition, access, the deposit balance, and who will receive rent after closing.
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
The lease and deposit are part of the handoff discussion, so you can see how they fit into the written closing terms before you decide.
For code complaints and inspections, see Brookings Code Enforcement. For repair or permit questions, contact City Building Services & Permits. Some permit questions depend on whether an address is inside city limits or in the City's joint-jurisdiction area. Not sure which office covers your address? Call us — we'll sort it out with you.
You can sell with a stated lease in place. A sale by itself does not end that lease; the lease and South Dakota's tenancy rules govern possession and notice. If the rental term is not specified, a statutory renewal or termination-notice rule may apply. Read South Dakota landlord-tenant law (SDCL Chapter 43-32).
The landlord must return a residential security deposit or give written reasons for withholding it within 21 days after the tenancy ends and the tenant provides a mailing address or delivery instructions. The sale itself is not the deposit-return deadline. As we discuss the handoff, we can talk through the deposit balance and rent recipient with you.
