What we do with a tenant-occupied house
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 can talk through selling with the tenants in place or whether a move-out arrangement could work better for everyone. If cash-for-keys fits the situation, any move-out terms still need to be agreed and handled under the lease and applicable process.
Bring us the problem
Is the lease near its end, is access hard to arrange, do repairs need attention, or are you unsure how the deposit should be handled? Tell us what is happening with the house and tenancy, even if some questions are still open.

Alaska leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease or require the tenant to move. The existing lease stays in place, and the buyer becomes the landlord. A new owner who wants to end the tenancy must give the proper legal notice. See Alaska Stat. § 34.03.110 and the Alaska Department of Law landlord-tenant guide.
When a tenancy ends, the person holding the landlord's interest must return the security deposit and prepaid rent. With proper termination notice, the refund and itemized accounting are generally due within 14 days after the tenancy ends and possession is returned, or within 30 days if damage costs are deducted. Without proper termination notice, the statute allows 30 days. Read Alaska Stat. § 34.03.070.
As the seller, you remain responsible for deposits and prepaid rent unless the buyer specifically takes them over. A good-faith sale and written notice of the sale to the tenant are required for your release from later liability. At closing, give the buyer the leases, deposit records, and tenant notices, and give each tenant written notice of the sale. Existing move-in condition statements remain valid between the buyer and tenant. These transfer rules are in Alaska Stat. § 34.03.110.
