Can you buy my Madison rental property with a tenant living there?

Yes. We purchase tenant-occupied properties throughout Madison and Dane County. We don't require vacant possession at closing. The lease transfers to us as the new owner.

Do I need to evict the tenant first?

No. We buy with tenants in place. Madison has strong tenant protections — eviction through small claims court takes time even in clear non-payment cases. We handle the tenant relationship after closing.

How does Wisconsin eviction work if I do need to go that route?

Wisconsin eviction requires a court order from Dane County Circuit Court. The process starts with a 5-day notice (non-payment) or 14-day notice (other violations), then a court filing, then a hearing, then a writ of restitution. Total: typically 3–6 weeks minimum. Consult a Wisconsin-licensed attorney for your specific situation. Source: Wisconsin Statutes Ch. 799.

What if the tenant has damaged the property?

We factor condition into our offer. Damaged units, unpaid rent, security deposit disputes — these don't stop us from making an offer. We buy as-is.

Madison's Rental Market — What Tired Landlords Face

Madison has a large rental market driven by the University of Wisconsin's approximately 47,000 students, plus state government employees and growing tech sector workers. Many rental properties near campus — older duplexes on Atwood Avenue, multi-units in the Marquette and Schenk neighborhoods — have been landlord-owned for 20–30 years. When the owners are ready to exit, tenant complications are the most common reason a conventional sale becomes difficult.

Madison has local tenant protections that go beyond Wisconsin state minimums — consult a Wisconsin-licensed attorney for current Madison-specific tenant protection ordinances before taking any action involving your tenants. We buy with tenants in place, so you don't have to navigate those ordinances yourself.
