Tippecanoe County Recorder
The county Recorder is the local office for recorded land documents. It can be a useful starting point for deed and property-record questions during a sale; it does not decide lease terms, tenant rights, or possession.

What we do
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Lafayette and Tippecanoe 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.
We can talk about the lease, who is living in the house, access, needed repairs, and what you want to happen next. If a tenant move-out arrangement may work better for everyone, bring that up in the conversation too.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, access around the tenants, repairs, or a difficult conversation getting in the way? Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening. You can start with what you know; you do not have to settle every tenancy question before calling.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
Tell us who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the house's condition, and the timing you are considering. If you have the lease or deposit records, they can help make the conversation more specific.
2. You review the written offer and terms
We give you the offer and terms in writing before you commit. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
3. The tenancy details are part of the closing handoff
The lease, occupancy, possession plan, and security-deposit transfer need to be accounted for. A sale does not by itself end the rental agreement. The title company can review the transaction documents and the deposit handoff.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Local help for a Lafayette property
Indiana leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
Yes, you can discuss selling while tenants are still in the home. A sale does not by itself cancel the rental agreement or mean the tenants have moved. The lease and any possession plan remain part of the handoff.
Indiana Code § 32-31-1-4 — month-to-month notice
If you are ending an ordinary rental that renews month to month, the general notice period is one rental period. The lease and the reason for ending it can change what is required. Check those details before planning for possession.
Indiana Code § 32-31-3-19 — security-deposit responsibility
A sale does not automatically erase the former landlord's security-deposit responsibility. Account for transferring the deposit and the buyer's notice accepting responsibility as part of the handoff.
May v. Sharp, Indiana Court of Appeals, September 25, 2025 discusses the deposit responsibility and notice questions.

Lafayette tenant-occupied house questions
Can I sell my Lafayette house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can talk with us about selling while the tenants are still there. A sale does not by itself end the rental agreement, so the lease and occupancy belong in the handoff discussion.
Do I have to evict the tenants before I call?
No. 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.
Does a sale end the lease or mean the tenants must move?
No. Selling the house does not by itself cancel the rental agreement or establish that the home is vacant. Discuss the lease, occupancy, and any possession plan before closing.
How much notice is needed to end a month-to-month tenancy in Indiana?
For an ordinary tenancy that renews month to month, Indiana generally requires notice equal to one rental period. The lease and the reason for ending the tenancy can change what is required, so check those details for this rental.
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; include both in the closing discussion.
Do I need to repair or clean the rental before asking about an offer?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us about the house and any repairs it needs.
What happens after I contact USA Home Buyers?
We discuss the house, lease, occupancy, access, condition, and your timing. You receive the proposed offer and terms in writing before you commit, and closing is handled through a title company.
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.”
“Tornado touched down two blocks away in June and our fence, garage, and back half of the roof were destroyed. Insurance took three weeks to send someone. USA Home Buyers was there in two days, made a fair cash offer accounting for the damage, and closed while we were still arguing with the insurance adjuster. The settlement check was mine to keep.”
