Can I Sell My Eagle River House With Tenants Still Living There?

You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.

You can sell to us with tenants still in the house. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in the City of Eagle River and across Vilas County, including tenant-occupied houses. A sale does not by itself cancel an ordinary lease or require tenants to leave; the new owner takes over the landlord obligations under it.

Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. You do not have to resolve the tenancy before starting a conversation.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours.

Share the address and what you know about the lease, occupancy, access, and repairs.

By submitting, you agree to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. You consent to receive calls and texts from USA Home Buyers. We never share your information.

What we do

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.

If helping the tenants move may work better for everyone, tell us. We can discuss whether cash-for-keys fits the situation. Any move-out arrangement should be agreed in writing and considered alongside the lease.

Bring us the problem

Lease timing, access, or repairs making the sale hard to sort out? Tell us what is happening with the tenancy and the house. Call 888-274-5006 whenever you are ready to talk.

What happens next

  1. 1. Talk through the house and tenancy

    Tell us what you know about the Eagle River or Vilas County property, who lives there, the lease, rent and deposit records, access, repairs, and timing. Start with what you know; you do not need to make the house vacant before calling.

  2. 2. Discuss the house and review written terms

    We discuss the property as it stands, the occupancy arrangement, access, and the lease details. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the proposed price and terms before deciding whether to proceed.

    We provide the written offer and terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.

  3. 3. Account for the tenancy in the closing handoff

    If you choose to proceed, the title company handles the closing. Bring the lease, rent and security-deposit information into the closing discussion so the occupancy and handoff details can be addressed.

Wisconsin leases, notice, and security deposits

An ordinary sale generally leaves the lease in place. The new owner takes over the landlord's obligations under it, and tenants do not have to leave just because the house sells. A sale and a decision to end a tenancy are separate questions.

If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, the usual rule is written notice at least 28 days before the end of the rental period. The lease and the reason for ending the tenancy can change what is required.

When arranging closing, account for the lease, rent, and security-deposit balance. Bring the current lease and rent and deposit records into the closing discussion so the handoff can be documented.
