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.

If a tenant move-out would work better for everyone, we can talk about cash-for-keys as one option. The lease and any move-out agreement still matter.

Bring us the problem

If lease timing, access, or repairs are making the sale difficult, tell us what is going on. We can discuss the house and tenancy together; you do not need to settle every issue before calling.

Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening.

What happens next

  1. 1. We discuss the house and tenancy

    We talk through the property, who is living there, what the lease says, access, condition, deposit details, and the timing you are considering.

  2. 2. We put the offer and terms in writing

    You can read the proposed price and terms before deciding whether to commit. If you choose to proceed, a title company handles the closing.

Mississippi tenant rights and security deposits

A sale does not by itself cancel a tenant’s lease or make the home vacant. The written lease and Mississippi’s Residential Landlord and Tenant Act govern the landlord-tenant relationship, notices, possession, and any security deposit. If tenants are expected to move, the lease and applicable process govern the notice and possession questions; the sale alone does not set a move-out date.

Under Miss. Code Ann. §89-8-21(3), the landlord must itemize deposit deductions in writing and return the refundable balance within 45 days after the tenancy ends, possession is returned, and the tenant demands it. A court order or local rule may add requirements.
