Greensboro, NC seller help · Tenant-occupied house
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Yes. You can sell your Greensboro house with tenants still living there. When you sell to USA Home Buyers, you can be done with the property without first turning it over, repairing it, or cleaning it out. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease; the buyer generally takes over as landlord.

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.
We can talk through whether selling with the tenants in place or discussing a tenant move may work better for everyone. Tell us what the lease says and what outcome you are hoping for; a sale itself does not make a tenant leave.
Bring us the problem
Tell us what is making the rental hard to sell: a lease date, limited access, repairs, communication that has stalled, or uncertainty about occupancy or possession. We can discuss the tenancy and the house together; you do not have to make a move-out decision before you call.
Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
We talk through the Greensboro or Guilford County address, who lives there, what the lease says, access, condition, deposit records, and the timing you have in mind. If you have a lease or rent and deposit records, they can help make the conversation specific.
2. We give you a written cash offer
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. We put the proposed price and terms in writing so you can review them before deciding.
3. You review the written terms and closing
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
The lease, occupancy, and security-deposit records are part of the handoff discussion. The title company handles the closing; the actual lease and possession process still matter.
Local help for a Greensboro rental property
Greensboro city limits and Guilford County are different boundaries. A postal or marketing description of “Greensboro” does not by itself show that a property is inside the City; confirm the parcel jurisdiction before using a City-specific route.

North Carolina lease, notice, possession, and security-deposit rules
A sale does not by itself end the lease. The buyer generally takes over as landlord, so the lease, notice, possession, and deposit handoff are separate questions to address for the actual tenancy.
North Carolina G.S. 47-18 — recording longer leases
A lease longer than three years must be recorded with the Register of Deeds to bind a buyer. Check the lease term and the recording record for the property being sold.
North Carolina G.S. 42-14 — notice when there is no set end date
When a tenancy has no set end date, the required notice depends on its rent period. Month-to-month needs at least seven days before the end of the month; week-to-week needs two days before the end of the week; and year-to-year needs one month or more before the end of the year. A rented manufactured-home space needs 60 days. Check the lease too; it may require more.
North Carolina G.S. 42-25.6 — possession through court
A tenant who will not leave can be removed only through the court process. A notice period is not permission to change the locks or remove the tenant yourself.
North Carolina G.S. 42-54 — security deposit after sale
Within 30 days after the sale, the seller must either transfer the security deposit, minus lawful deductions, to the buyer and mail the tenant the buyer’s name and address, or return the deposit, minus lawful deductions, to the tenant. Either step relieves the seller of further responsibility for the deposit. The Tenant Security Deposit Act is in G.S. 42-50 through 42-56.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Greensboro tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Greensboro house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can talk with us about selling with tenants in place. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease; the buyer generally takes over as landlord, so include the occupancy and lease in the handoff discussion.
Do I have to evict before I call?
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. A tenant who will not leave can be removed only through the court process.
What happens to the security deposit when I sell?
Within 30 days after the sale, North Carolina law requires the seller either to transfer the deposit, minus lawful deductions, to the buyer and mail the tenant the buyer’s name and address, or return the deposit, minus lawful deductions, to the tenant. Either step ends the seller’s further responsibility for that deposit.
How much notice is needed when there is no set end date?
The notice depends on the rent period: at least seven days before the end of the month for month-to-month, two days before the end of the week for week-to-week, and one month or more before the end of the year for year-to-year. A rented manufactured-home space has a 60-day notice period. Check the lease too; it may require more.
Does a lease longer than three years need to be recorded?
Yes. A lease longer than three years must be recorded with the Register of Deeds to bind a buyer. The actual lease and recording record matter for the property being sold.
Do I need to repair or clean the house before asking for an offer?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
