What we do with a tenant-occupied house

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what condition the house is in and what repairs have been difficult to coordinate around the tenants.

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 a move-out arrangement is worth discussing, bring it up. We can talk through that alongside selling with the tenants still in place.

Bring us the tenancy or access problem

A lease you are unsure how to handle, access that is hard to arrange, repairs that keep getting put off, or a tenant move-out conversation getting in the way? Call us and explain what is happening. Start with what you know; you do not need to solve the tenancy before asking about a sale.

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

What happens next

  1. 1. We discuss the house and tenancy

    Tell us the Hillsboro address, who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, what repairs are needed, and the timing you have in mind. The lease and occupancy are part of the conversation, not something you need to resolve before calling.

  2. 2. We review the property and put the offer in writing

    We discuss the house as it stands, the tenancy, access, repairs, and timing. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You can read the written offer and terms before deciding.

  3. 3. We discuss the lease and closing handoff

    If you choose to proceed, the lease, who is living in the house, access arrangements, and security-deposit information are part of the sale and closing discussion. A title company handles the closing.

Local help for a Hillsboro rental

Check which municipality covers the property address before relying on a city rule or office. Hillsboro and Highland County have different roles, and a nearby mailing place does not by itself establish the city jurisdiction.

Hillsboro Code Enforcement

For a property-maintenance or public-nuisance question within Hillsboro, the City’s Code Enforcement information explains its program and how to report a violation. Use the address and any notice when asking about a specific property.

Hillsboro Building Department

The City Building Department handles building, electrical, and mechanical codes, permits, and certificates of occupancy. Ask about the exact address if a rental repair or permit question comes up.

Highland County Auditor and property information

The County links property-search and valuation information through its Auditor. Start with the address when checking county property records; the Auditor’s role is separate from city code enforcement and lease questions.

If a code notice is part of the situation, see the Hillsboro code-violations page for related sale information.

Ohio leases, notice, possession, and security deposits

Selling a house does not by itself cancel the lease or require tenants to move out. The lease typically stays with the house; when we buy it with tenants in place, we become the landlord. Nobody has to move out before closing just because the house is sold.

If you want the house empty

Ohio Revised Code §5321.17 says ending a month-to-month tenancy takes written notice at least 30 days before the next rent due date. For a week-to-week tenancy, the notice period is 7 days. These rules are for those periodic tenancies; a fixed-term lease may work differently.

Notice timing does not make the house vacant by itself or set the closing date for an occupied sale. The lease and actual tenancy matter when you are deciding what possession should look like. Read Ohio Revised Code §5321.17.

Security deposits at closing

Security deposits typically transfer to us at closing. Keep the lease and deposit records together so the amount and handoff can be addressed in the written sale terms.

Compare what you could keep

Use the Hillsboro home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare your own listing assumptions with a written offer and estimated costs. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
