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 an empty handoff might work better, tell us what is happening and what you hope will happen next. We can talk through whether a move-out arrangement may work better for everyone; any agreed payment and timing can be put in the written terms.
Is the lease hard to read, access limited, or a repair waiting? Tell us what is happening with the tenancy and what you want the handoff to look like. Call 888-274-5006 or send the address through the form above. You do not have to settle the possession question before starting the conversation.

These are City of Lorain resources, not Lorain County offices. Confirm that the property is inside the City before relying on a City requirement; a Lorain mailing address alone does not establish its jurisdiction.
The City publishes landlord information and links to City forms through its Treasurer & Income Tax Department. For a rental inside the City of Lorain, use this route to ask about current City reporting requirements and records. It does not decide lease terms or a tenant's legal rights.
The City lists reporting routes for high grass, excessive trash or rubbish, and abandoned vehicles. Use its property-maintenance page for a City code or maintenance concern about an address inside the City; it is not a route for deciding lease, deposit, or possession questions.
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease or make an occupied house vacant. The lease typically stays with the house; if we buy it with tenants in place, we become the landlord. The tenant does not have to move out before closing just because ownership changes.
If you would rather sell the house empty, Ohio Rev. Code § 5321.17 calls for written notice at least 30 days before the next rent due date to end a month-to-month tenancy, or 7 days for a week-to-week tenancy. These are notice periods, not an automatic move-out date after a sale. Read Ohio Rev. Code § 5321.17.
Security deposits typically transfer to us at closing. Keep the current balance and records available so the handoff can be discussed and documented in the closing terms.

Security deposits typically transfer to us at closing. Keep the current balance and records available so the deposit handoff can be addressed in the written sale and closing terms.
