Minneapolis, MN seller help · Tenant-occupied property · Hennepin County

You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.

Yes. You can sell a Minneapolis house with tenants still living there. We buy houses as-is in Minneapolis and Hennepin County, including tenant-occupied houses. In an ordinary sale, the lease transfers to the buyer; selling by itself does not require a move-out.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Call 888-274-5006 or use the form below. The lease, access, and deposit handoff still matter.

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 talk through the house as it stands, who is living there, the lease and rent, access limits, repairs, deposit records, and the timing you have in mind. If helping the tenants move is part of the plan, we can discuss whether that would work better for everyone.

Minnesota leases, notice, possession, and security deposits

A sale does not by itself cancel a lease or require the tenant to move. In an ordinary sale, the buyer becomes the landlord under the existing lease. Whether and when a tenancy ends depends on the lease and applicable notice rules, not the sale alone.

Minnesota Attorney General: “Sale of the Building”

The Attorney General explains that an ordinary sale transfers the existing lease to the buyer, who becomes the landlord. Keep the lease and tenant notices with the sale information so the buyer can take over the tenancy.

Minnesota Statutes § 504B.135 — written notice for a tenancy at will

If the tenancy is at will, either the landlord or tenant may end it with written notice at least as long as the interval between rent due dates or three months, whichever is less. A different lease arrangement may have different terms, so use the actual lease and notices to determine what applies.

Minnesota Statutes § 504B.178 — deposit transfer or return

When the landlord's interest ends in a sale, the previous landlord generally must transfer the security deposit, including required interest, to the new owner with notice to the tenant, or return it to the tenant. The deadline is generally within 60 days after the ownership change, or sooner if the new owner's deadline to return or account for the deposit comes first.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers

Minneapolis tenant-occupied seller questions

Can I sell my Minneapolis house while tenants are still living there?

Yes. You can sell with tenants in place. In an ordinary Minnesota sale, the existing lease transfers to the buyer, who becomes the landlord; the sale itself does not cancel the lease or require the tenants to move.

Do I have to evict the tenants before I call?

No. You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone. The lease and applicable notice rules still govern any move-out.

What happens to the security deposit after the sale?

Minnesota generally requires the former landlord to transfer the deposit, including required interest, to the new owner with notice to the tenant, or return it to the tenant. The former landlord generally has 60 days after the ownership change, or less if the new owner's accounting deadline comes sooner.

What notice applies if there is no fixed-term lease?

For a tenancy at will, either side may end the tenancy with written notice at least as long as the interval between rent due dates or three months, whichever is less. Other lease arrangements can have different terms.

Does selling the house set a move-out date?

No. The sale by itself does not cancel the lease or set a move-out date. Possession depends on the lease and any applicable notice rules, so keep those terms and notices with the sale information.
