What we do with a tenant-occupied house
USA Home Buyers buys houses in Marshall and Lyon County, Minnesota. 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.
A move-out plan may work better for everyone in some situations. We can talk through the occupancy and what you want the handoff to look like without treating eviction as a prerequisite to calling.

Minnesota Attorney General landlord–tenant handbook
The state handbook explains general landlord and tenant topics, including what can happen when a rental building is sold. Check the lease and current rules for the specific tenancy.
Minnesota leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
In an ordinary sale, the existing lease transfers to the buyer, who becomes the landlord. Selling the house by itself does not end the lease or require the tenant to move. You can discuss an occupied sale; if you want the tenant to leave, the lease and applicable Minnesota notice rules still matter.
Minnesota has written-notice rules for ending a tenancy at will. The lease and the kind of tenancy determine which notice rule applies, so a sale date is not a move-out date. Read Minnesota Statutes section 504B.135 alongside the actual lease and any notices when reviewing a possession plan.
If the tenancy continues after the sale, transfer the security deposit, including required interest, to the new owner and notify the tenant. The previous landlord generally has 60 days after the ownership change to do this, or less time if the new owner’s deadline to account for the deposit comes sooner. Keep the deposit balance, interest information, lease, and tenant notices with the sale records. See Minnesota Statutes section 504B.178 for the transfer and successor-owner duties.

Marshall tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Marshall house while tenants still live there?
Yes. 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.
Does selling the house end the tenant’s lease?
No. In an ordinary sale, the existing lease transfers to the buyer, who becomes the landlord. A sale by itself does not require the tenant to move; the lease and applicable notice rules still matter.
What happens to the security deposit?
If the tenancy continues after the sale, the deposit, including required interest, must be transferred to the new owner and the tenant must be notified. The previous landlord generally has 60 days after the ownership change to do this, or less time if the new owner’s deadline to account for it comes sooner.
What should I have ready before I call?
You can call with what you know. If available, have the address, lease, rent and deposit records, access limits, tenant notices, repair concerns, and any court papers nearby.
