What we do

We talk through the house and tenancy together: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, and what needs attention. We buy houses with tenants in place in Hays and Ellis County.

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 helping the tenants move would work better for everyone, tell us what is happening and we can discuss whether a cash-for-keys arrangement fits the situation. You do not have to settle the move-out plan before calling.

Kansas lease, notice, possession, and security-deposit rules

In an ordinary sale, the existing lease stays in place and the buyer becomes the landlord. If you want tenants to move, the lease and Kansas notice rules apply.

K.S.A. 58-2554 — selling a rental

After a good-faith sale and written notice to the tenant, Kansas generally releases you from later lease obligations. You remain responsible for any security deposit the tenant is owed. Kansas law sets no deadline for handing the deposit to the buyer.

K.S.A. 58-2550 — returning the deposit

Whoever owns the property when the tenancy ends must return the deposit balance within 14 days after figuring any deductions, and no more than 30 days after the tenancy ends, the tenant moves out, and asks for it.
