What we do
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Idaho Falls and Bonneville County. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
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 helping the tenants move could work better for everyone, tell us. We can discuss that alongside the lease and the written sale terms.
Bring us the problem
Tell us what is making the rental hard to sell: lease timing, access limits, needed repairs, rent or deposit questions, a notice already given, or uncertainty about who is living there. We can discuss the house and tenancy together.
Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening.
What happens next
We discuss the house and tenancy, then put any offer and terms in writing for you to review before you decide.
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
Tell us the address, who lives there, what the lease says, rent and deposit details, access limits, repairs, notices, and the timing you have in mind. If available, the lease and rent, deposit, and tenant-notice records can help explain the handoff.
2. We review the property and put terms in writing
We discuss the house as it stands and the occupancy arrangement. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the proposed price and terms before you commit.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
3. We account for the lease and deposit handoff
If you choose to proceed, the lease, occupancy plan, deposit balance, tenant communications, and any agreed handoff details belong in the written sale and closing documents. The title and closing professionals can review how the transaction records those details.
4. You review the documents and close
The title company handles the closing. Review the written terms, settlement figures, and tenant and deposit handoff before signing. The agreed occupancy arrangement remains part of the closing details.
Local rental and code help in Idaho Falls
City planning and code offices handle city questions; confirm that the property is inside Idaho Falls city limits before relying on a city office. These offices are contact routes, not a decision about a particular parcel, lease, or tenant’s rights.

The Recorder’s Office handles county land-record searches and recorded-document copy requests. It is on the second floor of the courthouse at 605 N Capital Ave, Idaho Falls, ID 83402. Recorded property documents can help with a title review; they do not decide lease or possession questions.

Use the county court links and the Seventh Judicial District for court information. The court should confirm the proper route for a case-specific question.
Idaho leases, notice, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease. The buyer takes the property subject to it and becomes the new landlord. Notice to end a tenancy, notice about rent or renewal, and the deposit handoff are separate questions; the actual lease and occupancy details matter.
Idaho Code § 6-321 — security deposits and the new owner
Idaho law makes the new owner responsible for refunding security deposits paid during the tenancy. For a clear handoff, record each deposit balance and credit it to the buyer at closing, then tell the tenant in writing who holds the deposit now.
When the tenancy ends, the landlord must return the deposit, minus lawful deductions, within 21 days—or within up to 30 days if the lease says so. Deductions need a signed, itemized list, and normal wear and tear cannot be deducted.
Idaho Code § 55-208 — ending a month-to-month tenancy
A landlord ending a month-to-month tenancy must give the tenant at least one month’s written notice. A tenant who is leaving must also give at least one month’s written notice. This notice is about ending a month-to-month tenancy, not a notice created by selling the house.
A fixed-term lease and other legal protections may require a different approach. The Idaho Court Assistance Office’s landlord-and-tenant guide also explains month-to-month notice under this law.
Idaho Code § 55-304 — rent increases and nonrenewal
For residential leases, Idaho requires at least 30 days’ written notice before a rent increase or before not renewing a lease. A fixed-term lease and other legal protections may require a different approach; selling the house is not itself this notice.
Idaho Court Assistance Office — Landlord and Tenant Rights
This state court guide covers landlord-and-tenant topics, including month-to-month notice under Idaho Code § 55-208. Use the actual lease and applicable process for a possession question; a sale alone does not set a move-out date.

Idaho Falls tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Idaho Falls house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Idaho Falls and Bonneville County, including houses with tenants in place. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease: the buyer takes the house subject to it and becomes the new landlord.
Do I have to evict before I call?
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.
What happens to the security deposit when I sell?
Idaho makes the new owner responsible for refunding security deposits paid during the tenancy. Keep each deposit balance in the written handoff; it is smart to credit the deposits to the buyer at closing and tell the tenant in writing who holds them now. When the tenancy ends, the landlord must return the deposit, minus lawful deductions, within 21 days or within up to 30 days if the lease says so. Deductions need a signed, itemized list, and normal wear and tear cannot be deducted.
How much written notice is needed to end a month-to-month tenancy?
A landlord ending a month-to-month tenancy must give the tenant at least one month’s written notice. A tenant who is leaving must also give at least one month’s written notice. A fixed-term lease and other legal protections may require a different approach.
Does selling the house set a move-out date or cancel the lease?
No. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease or set a move-out date. The buyer takes the house subject to the lease and becomes the new landlord; use the actual lease and applicable process for any separate possession question.
What should I have ready before I call?
Start with what you know about the address, lease, who lives there, access, rent, deposit balance, notices, repairs, and timing. You do not have to resolve the tenancy before you call.
