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 tenant move-out might work better for everyone, tell us. We can discuss whether cash-for-keys fits the situation; the lease and applicable process still matter.

Bring us the tenancy, access, or repair problem

Tell us who lives there, what the lease says, how rent and the deposit are being handled, what access is available, which repairs need attention, and whether anyone has sent written notices. Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through; you do not have to solve the tenancy first.

Michigan lease, notice, possession, and security-deposit rules

The lease generally stays in place after a sale

An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place, and the buyer takes the property subject to the remaining lease term. Selling does not by itself make the tenant move. Share the lease and any amendments with the buyer and closing professionals so they understand the occupancy being handed over. See the Michigan Judicial Institute's landlord-tenant benchbook.

Notice and possession depend on the tenancy

If you want the tenant to leave, the lease and applicable Michigan notice rules matter; the sale itself does not cancel the lease or set a move-out date. Michigan's notice statute, MCL 554.134, covers termination notices for different tenancies. Follow the applicable process for possession rather than treating the sale as a move-out notice.

Account for the security deposit

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. Give the buyer the lease, deposit records, and tenant notices so the handoff can be addressed at closing. See MCL 554.614(a)–(c) and the Michigan Legislature's landlord-tenant guide.

Mount Pleasant questions and next steps

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers

Mount Pleasant tenant-occupied seller questions

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

Yes. You can sell a tenant-occupied house. An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place, and the buyer takes the property subject to the remaining lease term.

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 — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone.

Does selling the house end the lease?

No. Selling does not by itself cancel the lease or make the tenant move. Ending a tenancy depends on the lease and applicable Michigan notice rules.

What happens to the security deposit when I sell?

The 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. Keep the lease and deposit records with the closing information.

What should I have ready before I call?

Start with the property address and whatever you know about the lease, occupancy, rent, deposit, access, notices, repairs, and timing. You can call even if some details or documents are not ready.

How do I find the right local office for a Mount Pleasant-area property?

Check the actual address against the City of Mount Pleasant map and Isabella County township and village listings. A Mount Pleasant mailing address alone does not establish that the property is inside the City.
