What we do with a tenant-occupied house

We talk through the house and tenancy together: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, what rent and deposit records show, what repairs need attention, and what timing you are considering.

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 buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

If a tenant move-out arrangement may work better for everyone, tell us. Cash-for-keys means a voluntary move-out agreement that includes an agreed payment; put any agreement in writing and check it against the lease and applicable process.

Bring us the tenancy, access, or repair problem

Lease timing, limited access, needed repairs, or a difficult tenant conversation can make a rental hard to sell the usual way. Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening. You can start with what you know; you do not have to resolve every tenancy question before talking about the house.

What happens next

  1. 1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house

    Tell us who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the rent and deposit details, known repairs, and what you are considering for possession. Start with what you know; you can call before deciding whether anyone needs to move.

  2. 2. We discuss the property and give you written terms

    We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can review the proposed price and sale terms before deciding whether to proceed.

  3. 3. The title company works through the handoff

    Keep the lease, rent and deposit records, tenant notices, and any written occupancy or move-out agreement together for the closing discussion. The sale terms and deposit handoff can be documented while the lease and applicable Michigan rules continue to govern the tenancy.

Local help for a Ludington rental

The City and County handle different permit and property-maintenance questions. A Ludington mailing address alone does not establish the jurisdiction for a parcel. Confirm the actual location and the office's current service arrangements before visiting.

City of Ludington Building Department

For a property inside City limits, the City handles construction and site-work permits, inspections, and property-maintenance-code questions. City Hall is listed at 400 S Harrison Street, Ludington, MI 49431; call 231-843-2956.

Mason County Building Department

Mason County describes countywide electrical, mechanical, and plumbing permit routing and lists Ludington separately from other jurisdictions. Check which office applies to the specific parcel rather than relying on its mailing address.

Michigan lease, notice, possession, and security-deposit rules

Yes, you can sell with the tenant still there. An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place, and the buyer takes the property subject to the remaining lease term. Selling does not by itself make the tenant move; the lease and applicable notice rules still matter to when possession can change.

Michigan Compiled Laws § 554.134 — tenancy termination notices

Michigan has different notice rules for different tenancies and reasons for ending them. Check the lease and the notice rule that fits the situation. The sale itself is not a move-out date, and a planned change in possession must account for the tenant's lease and applicable process.

Michigan Compiled Laws § 554.614 — security deposits when a rental is sold

A sale does not automatically release the seller from responsibility for the security deposit. One way to end that responsibility is to transfer the deposit to the new owner and notify the tenant by ordinary mail of the transfer and the new owner's name and address. Give the buyer the leases, deposit records, and tenant notices so the deposit obligation can be handled at closing.

Ludington tenant-occupied seller questions

Can I sell my Ludington house while tenants are still living there?

Yes. You can talk about selling with tenants still there. An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place, and the buyer takes the property subject to the remaining lease term. A sale by itself does not make the tenant move.

Do I have to evict before I call?

What notice does Michigan require to end a tenancy?

Michigan has different notice rules for different tenancies and reasons for ending them. Check the lease and the applicable notice rule; selling the property by itself does not end the lease or set a move-out date.

What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?

A sale does not automatically release the seller from responsibility for the deposit. One way to end that responsibility is to transfer the deposit to the new owner and notify the tenant by ordinary mail of the transfer and the new owner's name and address. Keep the lease, deposit records, and tenant notices with the closing details.

What should I have ready before I call?

Start with the Ludington address and what you know about the lease, occupancy, rent, deposit, access, repairs, notices, and timing. You can call even if some details or documents are not in hand yet.
