Milwaukee, WI seller help · Tenant-occupied property
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
After you sell to us, you can leave turnover, repairs and tenant management behind. You can sell with tenants still living there; the sale does not by itself end their lease or make them move out.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We buy in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Milwaukee County, including houses with tenants in place.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. You can talk through the lease and occupancy before deciding what to do next.
Talk through your rental
Share the property address and what you know about the tenancy.

Tell us about the property and the tenants.
What we do
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.
We start with the house and the tenancy: the lease, who lives there, rent, access, repairs and the timing you have in mind. You can talk through the sale without first making the property vacant.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, hard-to-arrange access, needed repairs, unpaid rent, or a move-out conversation getting in the way? Tell us what is happening. Start with what you know; you do not have to settle every tenancy question before you call.
Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through.
What happens next
1. We discuss the house and tenancy
We talk through the address, occupancy, lease or month-to-month arrangement, access, rent and deposit, condition, and the timing you have in mind. Start with what you know.
2. You get written numbers and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
You receive the written offer and terms before deciding whether to commit. If you choose to sell, closing takes place through a title company.
3. You review the sale and closing plan
Before you commit, you receive the written offer and terms. We close through a title company and discuss how the lease, occupancy, rent and security-deposit balance fit the sale, including the agreed possession plan.
Local help for a Milwaukee rental
Wisconsin DATCP Landlord–Tenant Guide
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection guide includes statewide landlord–tenant information, including a section on change of ownership. It is a useful starting point for lease and rental questions.
Wisconsin leases, notice, possession and security deposits
An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place, and the new owner takes over the landlord’s obligations under it. The tenant does not have to leave just because the house sells. See Wis. Stat. § 704.09 and the change-of-ownership section of the Wisconsin DATCP Landlord–Tenant Guide.
If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, the usual 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; see Wis. Stat. § 704.19. A notice period is not a promise that the tenant will be out by a particular date. If possession is disputed, the applicable court process matters too; see Wis. Stat. ch. 799.
At closing, the lease, rent and security-deposit balance need to be accounted for. We discuss their agreed handling with you and include it in the written terms.
Milwaukee tenant-occupied property questions
Questions about selling a Milwaukee rental with tenants
Does selling a Milwaukee rental end the tenant’s lease?
No. An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing Wisconsin lease in place, and the new owner takes over the landlord’s obligations under it. A tenant does not have to leave just because the house sells.
Do I have to evict before I talk with you?
No. You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place. Tell us about the property and tenancy.
What happens to the security deposit?
We discuss the lease, rent and security-deposit balance with you, then include the agreed handling in the written terms.
What if I want the property vacant?
For an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, Wisconsin’s usual rule is written notice at least 28 days before the end of the rental period. The lease and reason for ending the tenancy can change what is required, and notice alone does not guarantee a move-out date.
What should I tell you about access or repairs?
We can talk through who lives there, access under the lease, tenant communications and pending repairs. Start wherever you are; you do not have to resolve the tenancy before you call.
