What we do with a tenant-occupied house
We talk through the house and the tenancy together: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, and what rent, deposits, repairs, or timing questions are part of the sale. You do not have to resolve every lease or possession question before starting the conversation.
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.
If selling with the tenants in place fits the lease and the sale, the property can change hands without asking the tenants to move before closing. If a voluntary move-out conversation would work better for everyone, tell us that too.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, limited access, repairs, rent or deposit questions, a written notice, or a move-out conversation getting in the way? Tell us what is happening with the Greenville property. You can call before you have every answer or document in hand.

What happens next
1. Talk through the lease, occupancy, and house
Share the address, who lives there, the lease or rental arrangement, access limits, condition, and timing. If you have rent or deposit records or written notices, mention what they say; you can start with what you know.
2. Review the property and written offer
We discuss the house as it stands and how the occupancy affects the sale. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You can read the proposed price and terms before deciding whether to proceed.
3. Work through the closing details
If you choose to move forward, the title company handles the closing process. The lease, occupancy, and deposit information are part of the handoff discussion; written terms come before you commit.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
Local help for a Greenville rental
For a local code or property-maintenance question, use the official city contact route and confirm which office handles the property address. For recorded land documents, the Darke County Recorder is a county reference; those records do not decide lease or deposit questions.
Darke County offices and Recorder
The county offices page identifies the Darke County Recorder and links to its AVA land-records portal. Use recorded documents as a land-record reference, not as a substitute for the lease or a current deposit record.
Ohio leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease or require tenants to leave before closing. The lease typically stays with the house, and when you sell to us, we become the landlord. That lets you discuss an occupied sale without first making the property vacant.
Ohio Revised Code §5321.17 — notice for periodic tenancies
If you would rather sell the house empty, Ohio's notice periods let you end a month-to-month tenancy with written notice at least 30 days before the next rent due date, or a week-to-week tenancy with 7 days' written notice. These are notice periods for those tenancy types; the sale itself does not create a move-out date. Check the lease and the actual tenancy before applying a notice period.
Security deposit handoff
Security deposits typically transfer to the buyer at closing. Tell us the deposit amount and who holds it so the deposit can be included in the closing discussion alongside the lease and occupancy details.
Compare the sale options
Compare the written offer with what a listing might leave after repairs and selling costs. The Greenville calculator lets you use your own estimates; it is a planning tool, not an offer for your property.
