Can I Sell My Hobart House With Tenants Still Living There?
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Yes, you can sell while tenants still live in the house. The sale itself does not end the rental agreement, and you can talk with us before you decide what to do about the tenancy.
Call 888-274-5006 or tell us about the house and the tenancy in the form.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Tell us about the house and the tenancy.
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.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
We talk through who lives in the house, what the lease says, and what you want to happen with the property. You can bring us the situation as it is.

What happens next
We discuss the lease, who lives there, access, repairs, and the condition of the house. Start with what you know.
1. Talk through the house and tenancy
We listen to what is happening and discuss the lease, occupancy, access, repairs, and the handoff you want.
2. Get the offer and terms in writing
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
3. Review the closing details
We go through the lease, rent, and security-deposit balance as part of the closing details. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us.

Indiana leases, notice, and security deposits
You can sell with a tenant still in the house. Selling the house does not by itself end the rental agreement, so a sale alone does not make the tenant move.
The lease and notice
The lease, rent, and security-deposit balance need to be accounted for at closing. If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, notice generally needs to cover one rental period. The lease and the reason for ending the tenancy can change what is required.
The security deposit
The tenant's security deposit typically transfers with the house at closing, though its treatment is often negotiated. We can talk through the balance and how it fits into the closing details.
Indiana law: Indiana Code § 32-31-1-4, rental agreements; Indiana Code § 32-31-3-19, security deposits; and May v. Sharp, Indiana Court of Appeals (September 25, 2025).
