Marion, Indiana · Grant County · Tenant-occupied houses
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Yes. You can sell a Marion house while tenants still live there. The sale does not by itself end the lease or mean the tenants have to move just because ownership changes.
You can talk with us about the lease, access, rent, deposits, repairs, and timing before deciding what to do about possession. Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. You do not have to make the house vacant before calling.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Share the address and what you know about the lease, occupancy, rent, access, repairs, and timing.

What we do
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Marion and Grant County, Indiana. 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 would work better for everyone, we can discuss cash-for-keys as one possible arrangement. It is a conversation about the tenancy, not a reason to ignore the lease or the tenant's rights.
Bring us the tenancy, access, or repair problem
Tell us who lives in the house, what the lease says, how access works, what rent and deposit balances you know about, and what repairs are waiting. Mention any written notices or a move-out conversation already underway. Start with what you know; you do not need to settle every question before you call.
Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening with the Marion or Grant County property.
What happens next
1. We discuss the house and the tenancy
We talk through the Marion address, condition, occupancy, lease, access, rent, deposit balance, and timing. If you have the lease or records handy, they can help make the conversation specific.
2. We put the offer and terms in writing
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
3. The closing team accounts for the handoff
The lease, rent, and security-deposit balance need to be accounted for at closing. The title company can review the sale documents and the proposed handoff; the lease and applicable Indiana rules still guide what happens with the tenancy and possession.
Local help for a Marion rental
Use official local sources for local contact information. Check whether the property is inside Marion city limits before relying on a city office for that address.
Grant County Recorder's Office
Use the county's official Recorder page as a county-records reference for the property. It does not answer questions about a lease, tenant notice, possession, or security deposits.
Indiana leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself cancel a rental agreement. Keep the lease, rent, and security-deposit balance in the closing conversation. Whether the buyer takes the house with the tenant or you are planning for the tenant to leave are separate questions.
Indiana Code §32-31-1-4 — ending a tenancy
If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, Indiana's general rule is notice equal to one rental period. The lease and the reason for ending the tenancy can change what is required. A sale itself is not a notice to leave, and that general period is not a guaranteed possession date.
Lease and possession after a sale
Selling the house does not by itself end the rental agreement or make it vacant. If you are considering a sale with the tenant gone, check the lease and the actual notice and possession requirements before setting a move-out expectation.
Indiana Code §32-31-3-19 — security deposits
A sale does not automatically erase the former landlord's security-deposit responsibility. Transferring the deposit and the buyer's notice accepting that responsibility matter. Keep the balance and transfer details with the lease and closing records.
Indiana Court of Appeals, May v. Sharp (2025)
The court's decision discusses the former landlord's security-deposit responsibility after a sale. The practical takeaway for your sale is to account for the deposit transfer and the buyer's notice accepting responsibility rather than assuming the sale alone settles it.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“I retired from Carle Hospital after thirty-three years as a nurse and decided to move to Arizona to be near my son. My house in Lincolnwood had been good to me but it needed some work I wasn't willing to do. USA Home Buyers made an offer the day after we spoke. I was in Tucson six weeks later.”
“I'd been renting to UIUC students in Old West Urbana for eleven years. Every August it was the same: new tenants, new damage, new headaches. Last summer I decided I was done. USA Home Buyers bought the place tenant-occupied. Closed in twelve days. I'm out of the landlord business.”
“The Champaign County divorce decree required the house to be sold. It's in Savoy, near the university, good area — but we couldn't agree on anything. One offer was already written up for us and both of us just had to sign. Twelve days and it was done. The attorneys took care of the rest.”
Marion tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Marion house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. A sale does not by itself end the rental agreement. You can discuss the occupied house with us while the lease, rent, access, and deposit details are still part of the handoff.
Do I have to evict before I call?
No. You can start with a conversation about the house and tenancy. 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.
How much notice ends an ordinary month-to-month tenancy in Indiana?
It generally takes notice equal to one rental period. The lease and the reason for ending the tenancy can change what is required, so do not treat that general rule as a move-out date for every renter.
What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?
The deposit balance needs to be accounted for at closing. A sale does not automatically erase the former landlord's responsibility: transferring the deposit and the buyer's notice accepting that responsibility matter.
What should I have ready before we talk?
Nothing has to be perfect. If available, have the address, lease, rent and deposit records, access limits, any written notices, repair details, and the timing you are considering nearby.
When will I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
