Manitowoc, WI · Manitowoc County · Tenant-occupied property
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Manitowoc, WI and Manitowoc County, even with tenants still living there. A sale does not by itself cancel an ordinary lease.
Call 888-274-5006 or tell us about the house, lease, and timing in the form. You do not have to decide what happens with the tenancy before starting the conversation.

What we do
We start with the house and tenancy: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the rent and deposit balance, and what timing you are considering. You can discuss selling with the tenants still in place.
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 a tenant move-out plan may work better for everyone, tell us what you have in mind. Any agreed move-out terms should be put in writing and checked against the lease and the process that applies to that tenancy.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, limited access, unpaid rent, repair questions, notices, or a difficult move-out conversation can all be part of the discussion. Tell us what is happening; you do not need to settle every detail before you call.
Call 888-274-5006 and tell us about the Manitowoc property and tenancy.
What happens next
1. We discuss the house and lease
Tell us who occupies the house, the lease term, rent and deposit balance, access limits, notices, condition, and your preferred timing. Start with what you know.
2. You read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. The written offer and terms let you see what you would be agreeing to before you commit.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
3. The lease and closing details are accounted for
The lease, occupancy, rent, deposit balance, payoff information, and title details are part of arranging the closing. The title company handles the closing, and the written terms show the agreed sale details.
When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Local help for a Manitowoc rental
Give the property address when you contact an office. City services apply to properties within the City of Manitowoc; if the house is elsewhere in Manitowoc County, confirm which municipality handles the address.
Wisconsin landlord-tenant information
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection landlord-tenant guide is a state resource for rental questions, including its change-of-ownership discussion.
Wisconsin leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself cancel an ordinary lease. Under Wis. Stat. §704.09(1)–(3), an ordinary sale generally leaves the lease in place, and the new owner takes over the landlord's obligations under it. Tenants do not have to leave just because the house sells.
If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, the usual Wisconsin rule is written notice at least 28 days before the end of the rental period. The lease and the reason for ending the tenancy can change what is required. Notice and possession are questions about that tenancy; a sale alone does not supply a move-out date.
Account for the lease, rent, and security-deposit balance when arranging the closing. Bring the lease and deposit record so the written closing terms can address the balance and handoff. Do not assume the deposit disappears when ownership changes.
Manitowoc tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell a Manitowoc house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. An ordinary sale generally leaves the lease in place, and the new owner takes over the landlord’s obligations under it. A sale by itself does not mean the tenants have to move.
Does selling the house end the lease?
No. Wisconsin’s ordinary-sale rule generally keeps the lease in place after the sale. The lease and occupancy are part of the handoff, so share the current agreement and any changes when discussing written terms.
What notice is usually needed to end a month-to-month tenancy?
The usual Wisconsin rule is written notice at least 28 days before the end of the rental period. The lease and the reason for ending the tenancy can change what is required. A sale itself does not cancel the lease.
How should I account for a tenant’s security deposit?
Bring the lease and the current deposit balance to the closing discussion. The written closing terms should account for that balance and how it will be handled as ownership changes; do not assume the deposit disappears or is sale proceeds.
What should I have ready before I call?
Nothing has to be settled before you call. If available, have the lease, rent and deposit records, access details, notices, repair information, and your preferred timing nearby so we can discuss the actual situation.
What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Pierce Manufacturing transferred me to their Bradenton, Florida facility. I had eight weeks to get to Florida. My house on the Westside needed a few updates but I wasn't going to spend the summer on that. USA Home Buyers gave me a number in twenty-four hours. I said yes and closed in eleven days. I made it to Bradenton two weeks early.”
“After the plant I worked at outside Oshkosh restructured and cut my position, I was behind on payments within three months. The lender filed in Winnebago County Circuit Court. By that point I had a judgment date looming. USA Home Buyers had a written offer in twenty-four hours and we closed in thirteen days. The judgment was dismissed.”
“The Winnebago County divorce required the house sold before settlement could be finalized. We'd lived in Menominee Park for sixteen years — good memories, but we needed to move on. One written offer from USA Home Buyers, both signed it in the same afternoon, closed in fourteen days.”
