What we do
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.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
We can discuss whether helping the tenants move may work better for everyone, or whether a sale with them still in place fits the situation. Any move-out arrangement is separate from the sale and should be addressed in writing under the lease and applicable rules.
Bring us the tenancy, access, or repair problem
Tell us what is going on with the house: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, which repairs need attention, and what timing you are considering. Start with what you know; you do not have to make the house vacant or finish repairs before calling.
Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening.

Michigan leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place, and the buyer takes the property subject to the remaining lease term. Selling does not by itself make the tenant move. The lease and applicable notice rules affect how a tenancy can end; a sale is not itself a move-out date.
Michigan Compiled Laws § 554.134 sets notice rules for ending a tenancy. The lease, the kind of tenancy, and the reason for ending it matter, so do not assume one notice period applies to every rental. Notice and possession are separate questions: a sale does not by itself give you possession of an occupied house.
A sale also does not automatically release you from responsibility for a security deposit. One way to end that responsibility is to give the deposit to the new owner and notify the tenant by ordinary mail of the transfer and the new owner's name and address. The statute also describes other conditions that can end the seller's responsibility. Keep the lease and deposit records with the closing details so the transfer is addressed.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Caro tenant-occupied house questions
Can I sell my Caro house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can sell with tenants still in the house. An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place, and the buyer takes the property subject to the remaining lease term. Selling does not by itself make the tenant move.
Do I have to evict before I call?
No. You can call while the tenants are still there. We buy houses with tenants in place, and you can tell us what is happening with the lease, occupancy, access, repairs, and timing.
What notice applies if I want to end the tenancy?
The lease and reason for ending the tenancy affect which Michigan notice rule applies. MCL 554.134 sets notice rules for ending a tenancy; a sale by itself does not cancel the lease or set a move-out date.
What happens to the security deposit when I sell?
A sale does not automatically release you from responsibility for the deposit. One way to end that responsibility is to give the deposit to the new owner and notify the tenant by ordinary mail of the transfer and the new owner's name and address. Keep the deposit records and transfer details with the lease for the closing discussion.
