Indianapolis, IN seller help · Tenant-occupied property
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Yes. You can sell a tenant-occupied house in Indianapolis or Marion County while the tenants are still living there. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease, so the lease, rent, and security-deposit balance need to be accounted for at handoff.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. You can talk with us about the tenancy before deciding what to do about possession.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.

What we do
USA Home Buyers buys houses in Indianapolis and Marion 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 may work better for everyone, tell us. We can discuss whether a cash-for-keys arrangement fits the situation; the tenant’s current lease and any written agreement still matter.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, access limits, repairs, rent, or a move-out conversation getting in the way? Tell us what is happening with the Indianapolis house. Start with what you know; you do not have to settle every tenancy question before calling.
What happens next

Tell us about the property, who lives there, what the lease says, rent, access, repairs, and the timing you have in mind. We can discuss the house as it stands and the occupancy arrangement.

Indiana lease, notice, and security-deposit rules
Selling a rented Indianapolis house does not by itself cancel the rental agreement. Keep the lease, current occupancy, rent, and security-deposit balance in the handoff discussion.
Ending a month-to-month tenancy
Ending an ordinary month-to-month tenancy generally takes notice equal to one rental period. The lease and the reason for ending it can change what is required. That is separate from selling the house: the sale alone does not end the lease. See Indiana Code § 32-31-1-4.
Transferring the security deposit
A sale does not automatically erase the former landlord’s security-deposit responsibility. The deposit transfer and the buyer’s notice accepting that responsibility matter. See Indiana Code § 32-31-3-19 and the Indiana Court of Appeals decision May v. Sharp (September 25, 2025).
For advice about a specific lease, notice, or deposit arrangement, show the documents to an Indiana attorney.
Questions about selling an Indianapolis house with tenants
Can I sell my Indianapolis house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease, so the lease, occupancy, rent, and security-deposit balance need to be accounted for at handoff.
Does selling the house end the tenant’s lease?
No. Selling the house does not by itself cancel the rental agreement. The lease and occupancy arrangement still matter after the sale.
What happens to the security deposit when I sell?
A sale does not automatically erase the former landlord’s security-deposit responsibility. The deposit transfer and the buyer’s notice accepting responsibility matter, so include the deposit balance in the closing discussion.
Do I need to evict tenants before I call?
No. You can call while tenants are still living there and talk through the lease, access, repairs, and occupancy before deciding what to do about possession.
How much notice ends an ordinary month-to-month tenancy in Indiana?
It generally takes notice equal to one rental period. The lease and the reason for ending the tenancy can change what is required. Selling the house alone does not end the lease.
What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“I retired from Carle Hospital after thirty-three years as a nurse and decided to move to Arizona to be near my son. My house in Lincolnwood had been good to me but it needed some work I wasn't willing to do. USA Home Buyers made an offer the day after we spoke. I was in Tucson six weeks later.”
“I'd been renting to UIUC students in Old West Urbana for eleven years. Every August it was the same: new tenants, new damage, new headaches. Last summer I decided I was done. USA Home Buyers bought the place tenant-occupied. Closed in twelve days. I'm out of the landlord business.”
“The Champaign County divorce decree required the house to be sold. It's in Savoy, near the university, good area — but we couldn't agree on anything. One offer was already written up for us and both of us just had to sign. Twelve days and it was done. The attorneys took care of the rest.”
