Can I Sell My New Albany House With Tenants Still Living There?
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Yes, you can sell while tenants are still living in the house. We buy houses with tenants in place.
We answer 24/7 at 888-274-5006. Tell us about the lease, access, or repairs, or use the form.
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.
If you and the tenant would rather arrange a move, we can talk through cash-for-keys and whether it works for both of you.

What happens next
1. We talk through the house and tenancy
We discuss who lives there, the lease, rent, access, repairs, and what you want the handoff to look like.
2. You review the written offer and terms
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
3. We work through closing and the tenant handoff
We discuss how the lease, rent, and security deposit fit into the handoff. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.

Indiana leases, notice, and security deposits
Selling a rented house does not by itself end the rental agreement or make the tenant move. The lease, rent, and security-deposit balance need to be accounted for at closing.
Lease after a sale — May v. Sharp, Indiana Court of Appeals (2025)
You can sell with the tenant still living there. The existing lease and the handoff remain part of the sale.
Indiana Code § 32-31-1-4 — month-to-month notice
If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, notice generally needs to cover one rental period. The lease and the reason for ending it can change what is required.
Indiana Code § 32-31-3-19 — security deposits
The tenant’s security deposit typically transfers with the house at closing, though it is often negotiated. The rent and deposit balance need to be accounted for in the handoff.
