Marquette, MI · Marquette County · Tenant-occupied property
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Yes. You can sell a Marquette house with tenants still living there. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in the City of Marquette and Marquette County. A sale does not by itself cancel the existing lease or make the tenant move.

Talk through your Marquette tenant-occupied house

We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Share the address, lease, occupancy, access, repairs, and timing.
What we do
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 move-out arrangement could work better for everyone, tell us. The lease and any agreed terms remain part of the discussion.
Bring us the tenancy, access, or repair problem
Tell us what is making the rental hard to sell: lease timing, access limits, repairs, a deposit question, a notice already sent, or uncertainty about possession. We can discuss the house and tenancy together; you do not need to settle every issue before calling.
Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease and house
We talk through the address, who lives there, the lease and occupancy, access, condition and repairs, deposit records, notices, and the timing you have in mind.
2. We discuss the written offer and terms
We consider the house as it stands and the tenancy details you share. We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Before you decide whether to sell, we put the offer and its terms in writing. If you go ahead, closing takes place through a title company.
3. The lease and deposit are part of the handoff
If you decide to go ahead, we discuss the lease and any deposit transfer as part of the handoff with the title company.

Michigan leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place, and the buyer takes the property subject to the remaining lease term. The sale does not by itself make the tenant move or set a move-out date. Ending a tenancy depends on the lease and applicable notice rules.
Michigan Judicial Institute: new owners and an existing tenancy
The buyer takes the property subject to the existing lease's remaining term. The sale itself does not set a new move-out date; the lease and applicable process still matter for possession.
Michigan Compiled Laws § 554.134 — tenancy termination notices
Michigan's notice statute addresses ending tenancies, but which notice rule applies depends on the tenancy and circumstances. The lease and applicable rules determine what notice applies; the sale itself is not a notice to quit.
Michigan Compiled Laws § 554.614 — security deposits when a rental is sold
A sale does not automatically release the seller from responsibility for a security deposit. One way to end that responsibility is to give the deposit to the new owner and notify the tenant by ordinary mail of the transfer and the new owner's name and address. The lease, deposit records, and tenant notices are part of the handoff so deposit obligations can be handled at closing.
Michigan's landlord-tenant guide also addresses what happens to a security deposit when a rental property is sold.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Marquette tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Marquette house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can discuss selling with tenants still in the house. An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place, and the buyer takes the property subject to the remaining lease term.
Does selling the house make the tenant move out?
No. The sale does not by itself cancel the lease or set a move-out date. Ending a tenancy depends on the lease and the applicable notice rules.
Do I have to evict before I call?
No. 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. Tell us about the property and tenancy.
What happens to the security deposit when I sell?
A sale does not automatically release you from responsibility for the deposit. One way to end that responsibility is to give the deposit to the new owner and notify the tenant by ordinary mail of the transfer and the new owner's name and address. We discuss the lease and any deposit transfer as part of the handoff with the title company.
Do I need every detail organized before I call?
No. Start with the address, what you know about the lease and who lives there, and what is making the sale difficult. We can talk through access, repairs, notices, and deposit questions together.
