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. Tell us about the property and tenancy.
Cash-for-keys means the tenants receive an agreed payment to move out. If that may work better for everyone, we can talk through whether it fits this house and tenancy.
Bring us the problem
Is the lease timing unclear? Are repairs piling up, or is access difficult to coordinate? Tell us what is happening. We'll talk through the tenancy and what selling with tenants in place could look like.
Not sure? Call us — we'll sort it out with you. Reach us at 888-274-5006.

Idaho tenant rights, notice, possession, and deposits
A sale does not end the lease. The buyer takes the house subject to it and becomes the new landlord. A fixed-term lease and other legal protections may require a different approach than the month-to-month rules below.
Idaho Code § 6-321 — security deposits
The new owner is responsible for refunding security deposits paid during the tenancy. It is smart to credit the deposit to the buyer at closing and tell the tenant in writing who holds it 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 provides for that period. Deductions need a signed, itemized list, and normal wear and tear cannot be deducted.
Idaho Code § 55-208 — month-to-month notice
To end a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord 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.
Idaho Code § 55-304 — rent increases and nonrenewal
Idaho requires at least 30 days' written notice before a rent increase or before not renewing a residential lease.
Idaho Court Assistance Office — landlord and tenant rights
The Idaho Court Assistance Office guide explains landlord and tenant rights, including month-to-month notice.
