What we do

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, including the lease, rent, access, repairs, and timing.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

If a tenant move-out arrangement is part of the discussion, put the agreed terms in writing and check them against the lease and the process that applies to the tenancy.

Nebraska lease, notice, and security-deposit rules

Selling the house does not by itself cancel the lease or determine when a tenant must leave. The buyer takes the house subject to the lease. The lease, notices, deposit records, and actual occupancy matter to the handoff.

Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1420 — sale and tenant notice

When an owner sells in good faith, the former owner is no longer responsible for landlord obligations after the tenant receives written notice of the sale. The seller remains responsible for the security deposit and prepaid rent unless they are transferred to the buyer with written notice to the tenant.

Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1437 — ending periodic tenancies

To end a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord or tenant must give written notice at least 30 days before the rent day named in the notice. A week-to-week tenancy takes at least 7 days’ written notice. A fixed-term lease and other legal protections may require a different approach; selling the property does not itself set a move-out date.

Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1416 — deposit limits and return

A security deposit cannot be more than one month’s rent, plus a pet deposit of up to one-quarter of a month’s rent. When the tenancy ends, the owner then responsible must return the deposit, minus lawful deductions and with a written list of them, within 14 days.

Keep each lease, deposit and prepaid-rent record, tenant notice, rent record, and communication together for the closing discussion.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers

Questions about selling a tenant-occupied Grand Island house

Can I sell my Grand Island house while tenants are still living there?

Yes. You can sell with tenants in place. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease; the buyer takes the house subject to it and becomes the new landlord.

Does selling the house end the lease or set a move-out date?

No. The sale itself does not end the lease or set a move-out date. Nebraska generally requires at least 30 days’ written notice to end a month-to-month tenancy, measured before the rent day named in the notice, and at least 7 days’ written notice for a week-to-week tenancy. A fixed-term lease may call for a different approach.

What happens to the tenant’s deposit and prepaid rent when I sell?

You remain responsible for the security deposit and prepaid rent unless they are transferred to the buyer with written notice to the tenant. At the end of the tenancy, the owner must return the deposit, less lawful deductions with a written list, within 14 days.

How much can I collect as a security deposit in Nebraska?

The security deposit can be no more than one month’s rent, plus a pet deposit of up to one-quarter of a month’s rent.

What should I have ready for a conversation about the house?

Start with what you know about the address, lease, who lives there, rent, access, repairs, notices, deposit and prepaid-rent records, and timing. You can call before everything is organized.
