We talk about the house and tenancy together: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the rent and deposit records, the condition, and the timing you have in mind. You can start the conversation without settling every tenancy question first.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to 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 about the property and tenancy.
Cash-for-keys is an agreed move-out arrangement. If it is part of the plan, put the terms in writing and make sure they fit the lease and applicable process. Selling with tenants in place is also an option to discuss.
