Tenant rights, notice, possession, and security deposits in Ohio
A sale does not by itself cancel the lease. In a sale with tenants in place, the lease typically stays with the house and we become the landlord, so nobody has to move out before closing.
If you want to sell the house empty
Ending a month-to-month tenancy takes written notice at least 30 days before the next rent due date. For a week-to-week tenancy, the notice period is 7 days. Those notice periods concern ending those tenancies; they are not a step required just to sell with the tenant in place. See Ohio Rev. Code § 5321.17.
Possession is separate from the sale
A tenant’s lease and occupancy do not disappear just because the house is sold. If you would rather sell it empty, we can discuss the lease and how the notice period may affect your timing.
Security deposits
Security deposits typically transfer to us at closing when we buy the property. We discuss the deposit and its handoff as part of the sale.

Tenant-occupied house questions
Can I sell my Canton house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can sell with tenants in place. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease or mean the tenant has to move before closing. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Canton and Stark County, Ohio, and can discuss the lease and occupancy with you.
Does selling the house end the tenant’s lease?
No. The lease typically stays with the house after a sale, and when we buy with tenants in place, we become the landlord. The tenant’s existing lease and the transaction details still matter.
Do I need to give notice or evict before I sell?
No. You do not need to end the tenancy just to discuss or sell a house with tenants in place. If you would rather sell it empty, Ohio Rev. Code § 5321.17 calls for written notice at least 30 days before the next rent due date to end a month-to-month tenancy, or 7 days for a week-to-week tenancy.
What happens to the security deposit when I sell?
Security deposits typically transfer to us at closing when we buy a tenant-occupied house. We discuss the deposit and its handoff as part of the sale.
Can you buy the house if a tenant may move out?
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.
