What we do
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not have to make the rental vacant or fix it up before talking with 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. Tell us about the property and tenancy.
Bring us the tenant problem
Lease timing, access for a look at the house, repairs a tenant has raised, or a difficult conversation about the property? Call and tell us what is going on. We can discuss the house and tenancy without you having to settle every question first.
What happens next
1. We discuss the house and lease
We'll talk about who lives there, what the lease says, access, the house condition, and what you know about rent, deposits, and timing. You can start while tenants are still in the house.
2. We put the offer and terms in writing
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
3. We discuss the handoff and close
We talk through the tenant handoff and close through a title company.

Idaho lease, notice, possession, and security-deposit rules
The lease stays in place when tenants remain after a sale, and the buyer becomes the new landlord. Any move-out timing follows the lease and the notice required for that tenancy.
Lease and possession
If you want the tenants to move, the timing depends on the lease and the notice required for that tenancy. We can talk through the options with you.
Written notice
To end a month-to-month tenancy, a landlord must give at least one month's written notice. A tenant who is leaving must also give at least one month's written notice. See Idaho Code §55-208 and the Idaho Court Assistance Office landlord and tenant guide.
Idaho also requires at least 30 days' written notice before a rent increase or before not renewing a residential lease. A fixed-term lease and other protections may require a different approach. See Idaho Code §55-304.
Security deposits
Idaho law makes the new owner responsible for refunding security deposits paid during the tenancy. We can talk through the deposit balance, its credit to the buyer at closing, and the written handoff to the tenant. When the tenancy ends, the landlord must refund the deposit, minus lawful deductions, within 21 days, or within up to 30 days if the lease says so. Deductions need a signed, itemized list, and normal wear and tear cannot be deducted. See Idaho Code §6-321.

Mountain Home tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Mountain Home house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. We buy houses with tenants still living there. Call to talk through the lease, access, and what you want to happen next.
What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?
Idaho law makes the new owner responsible for refunding security deposits paid during the tenancy. We can talk through the balance, its credit to the buyer at closing, and the written handoff to the tenant. When the tenancy ends, the landlord must refund the deposit within 21 days, or within up to 30 days if the lease says so, minus lawful deductions.
How much notice applies to a month-to-month tenancy or rent change?
To end a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord must give at least one month's written notice, and a tenant who is leaving must also give at least one month's written notice.
