The lease continues after a sale
The new owner must tell the tenant within 30 days after the sale where to pay rent, that the rental agreement continues, and how much of the security deposit is being held. A sale does not itself set a move-out date.
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.

What we do
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.
We can talk through whether a sale with the tenant in place or a move-out arrangement fits the situation better. If a move-out agreement is being considered, include its timing in the conversation so it can be addressed alongside the house and lease.
Bring us the problem
A lease that is ending, limited access, a tenant who will not cooperate with showings, or repairs you do not want to make? Call and tell us what is going on. We can discuss the occupancy, access, and condition without asking you to fix the house or resolve every tenancy question first.
Call 888-274-5006 to talk it through.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
Tell us who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the condition of the house, and the timing you have in mind. Start with what you know; the conversation can help identify what else needs attention.
2. We put the offer in writing
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the proposed price and terms before deciding.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
3. The sale and tenancy handoff are reviewed
The written terms and title-company process give you a place to review the sale details. The lease, occupancy, and security-deposit handoff still need to follow the Nevada rules below.

Nevada lease, notice, and security-deposit rules
A sale by itself does not cancel the rental agreement. Unless the buyer and tenant agree to change or end it, the agreement continues and the buyer takes over the landlord's rights and duties under it.
Transfer the security deposit
In a voluntary sale, the seller must transfer the tenant's remaining security deposit to the buyer before the deed is recorded. The seller must also notify the tenant in writing of the new landlord's name, address, and phone number, and of the deposit transfer.
The buyer must accept the deposit and cannot demand a new one during the rental agreement.
Notice for a separate end to a periodic tenancy
If you are separately considering ending a periodic tenancy, Nevada requires at least 30 days' notice for month-to-month and 7 days for week-to-week. A month-to-month tenant who is 60 or older or has a disability can ask in writing for 30 additional days. These notice periods do not mean that a sale itself ends the lease.

For a voluntary sale, the seller transfers the remaining deposit to the buyer before the deed is recorded and gives the tenant written notice of the new landlord and the transfer.
