What we do
We buy houses with tenants in place. You can tell us what the lease says, who lives there, how rent is handled, what access is available, and what repairs the house needs.
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.
If a move-out arrangement would work better for everyone, say so when we talk. The occupancy plan still needs to fit the actual lease and written sale terms.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, limited access, missed rent, repair needs, or a difficult conversation with a tenant can all affect the sale. Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening. You do not have to resolve every tenancy question before you call.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
Tell us what you know about the lease term, rent, deposits, access, repairs, who lives there, and your timing. Start with the facts you have; you can call before deciding what to do about possession.
2. We review the house as-is and put the offer in writing
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the price and terms before deciding.
3. You review written terms and close through a title company
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. The lease, occupancy, deposit balance, and agreed handoff details belong in the closing discussion.
Local help for a Frankfort rental
A Frankfort mailing address does not by itself establish whether a property is inside the city. For city-specific rental or property-maintenance questions, start with the official city site and confirm the address with the city. Franklin County offices below provide official county contact starting points; their links do not decide lease rights or deposit handling.
Franklin County Clerk
The county identifies the Clerk as an official office and links this site for county contact lookup.
Franklin County Property Valuation Administrator
The county PVA page is an official contact starting point for property-valuation questions.
Franklin County Fiscal Court Clerk
The county lists the Fiscal Court Clerk on its public open-records page. Use the page to identify the county office; no records procedure or fee is assumed here.
Franklin County Sheriff's Office
The county Sheriff's Office has an official public website for county contact information.
Kentucky leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease or set a tenant's move-out date. Kentucky law allows a sale without the tenant's consent, and the buyer takes over as landlord under the existing lease. If you want the property vacant, the lease and applicable process still matter.
The lease and rent notice
KRS 383.100 says the sale is valid without the tenant's consent. If a tenant pays rent to the former owner before receiving notice of the sale, the tenant is not liable to pay that rent a second time. Give each tenant written notice identifying the new owner and where rent should be paid. Read KRS 383.100.
Local adoption affects deposit rules
Kentucky has no statewide rule for moving a security deposit at a sale. Kentucky's version of the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act applies only in cities and counties that adopted it; do not assume it applies to every address. Read KRS 383.500 on local adoption.
Account for the deposit in the handoff
In a jurisdiction that adopted the act, deposits must be kept in a separate bank account. A seller who sells in good faith is relieved of liability only for events after the tenant receives written notice of the sale. For a clear handoff, record each deposit balance and prorated rent in the closing documents, transfer the agreed amounts to the buyer at closing, and tell each tenant in writing who now holds the deposit. Confirm the actual arrangement with the closing professionals. Read KRS 383.580 on deposit accounts and KRS 383.600 on a seller's liability after written notice.

Frankfort tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Frankfort house while tenants still live there?
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses with tenants in place, so you can discuss a sale before a move-out. The sale does not by itself end the lease; the lease and occupancy are part of the handoff.
Does the tenant have to agree to the sale?
Kentucky law says a sale is valid without the tenant’s consent. The buyer takes over as landlord under the existing lease.
What if a tenant pays rent to me before getting notice of the sale?
A tenant who pays the former owner before receiving notice of the sale is not liable to pay that rent a second time. Give each tenant written notice identifying the new owner and where rent should be paid.
What happens to the security deposit?
Kentucky has no statewide rule for moving a security deposit when a house is sold. In a city or county that adopted Kentucky’s landlord-tenant act, deposits must be kept in a separate bank account, and a good-faith seller is relieved of liability only for events after the tenant receives written notice of the sale. Confirm whether that local law applies and document the deposit handoff.
Do I have to evict or move the tenants before I call?
No. You can call while tenants are still in the house. A sale by itself does not cancel the lease or set a move-out date; any possession plan needs to account for the lease and applicable process.
