What we do with a tenant-occupied house

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what condition the house is in and what repairs have been difficult to coordinate around the tenants.

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.

If a move-out arrangement may work better for everyone, we can talk through cash-for-keys alongside a sale with the tenants still in place.

Bring us the tenancy or access problem

A lease you are unsure how to handle, access that is hard to arrange, repairs that keep getting put off, or a difficult move-out conversation? Tell us what is going on. We can discuss the house and a sale without asking you to solve the tenancy first.

What happens next

  1. 1. We discuss the house and tenancy

    We talk through the Cornelia address, the lease, who lives there, access, the house's condition, repairs, and timing. If you have lease or deposit details, we can include them in the conversation.

  2. 2. We put the offer and terms in writing

    We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can review the written offer and terms before you commit.

  3. 3. We handle the sale through a title company

    If you decide to move ahead, the lease, occupancy, access arrangements, and security-deposit handoff are addressed as part of the sale and closing through a title company.

Local code-enforcement contacts

Cornelia and Habersham County maintain separate code-enforcement offices. The appropriate contact depends on the property's location. If a code notice is part of the rental situation, share it with us and we can discuss how it fits into the sale.

Georgia leases, possession, and security deposits

An ordinary sale does not itself end a lease or make the house vacant. Georgia's Department of Community Affairs says a new owner is generally subject to an apartment's existing lease terms.

The state's landlord-tenant handbook says the former owner must either transfer the security deposit to the new owner, who becomes responsible for it, or refund it to the tenant. We discuss the lease and deposit handoff as part of the written sale terms.

Read Georgia's Department of Community Affairs Landlord-Tenant Handbook (pp. 8, 13).

Questions about selling a Cornelia house with tenants

Can I sell my Cornelia house with tenants still living there?

Yes. 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.

Does selling the house cancel the lease?

No. An ordinary sale does not itself end a lease. Georgia's Department of Community Affairs says a new owner is generally subject to an apartment's existing lease terms, so the sale alone does not make the house vacant.

What happens to the security deposit?

Georgia's Department of Community Affairs says the former owner must either transfer the security deposit to the new owner, who becomes responsible for it, or refund it to the tenant. We discuss the deposit handoff as part of the written sale terms.

What happens after I contact USA Home Buyers?

We discuss the house, lease, occupancy, access, repairs, and timing. We give written cash offers in 24 hours and provide written terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.

Which local office handles a code-compliance question?

Cornelia and Habersham County have separate code-enforcement offices. The appropriate contact depends on the property location; the City and County contacts are linked in the local-help section above.
