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.
Cash-for-keys is a move-out arrangement that may include an agreed payment. If moving a tenant could work better for everyone, tell us; any plan should be put in writing and fit the lease and applicable process.
You do not need to schedule listing-agent showings to sell to us. We discuss any needed property access with you and the tenants.
Bring us the problem
Tell us what is making the rental hard to sell: lease timing, access, repairs, missed rent, a notice already given, deposit records, or uncertainty about who is living there. You do not have to solve every issue before you call.
Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
We review the house, lease, occupancy, access, condition, timing, title and payoff details, and who has authority to sell. Start with what you know; you do not need to resolve the tenancy before we talk.
2. You get written terms
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
You get a clear written offer and written terms up front, before you commit. A title company handles the closing.
3. The title company handles closing
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes. No agent commissions when you sell to us.
The closing accounts for the lease, occupancy or possession plan, and required security-deposit handoff.

Connecticut leases, possession, and security deposits
Connecticut Office of Legislative Research: selling rental property
In an ordinary sale, the buyer becomes the new landlord and existing leases generally stay in effect. The sale alone does not end the tenancy.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-23 — notice to quit
To end a tenancy and regain possession, a landlord must follow the lease and Connecticut's notice-to-quit and eviction rules. The sale alone does not set a move-out date.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-23c — good-cause protection
Some tenants, including people age 62 or older or with a disability in buildings with five or more units, may be evicted only for good cause. A change of ownership by itself does not count as good cause. Public Act 26-11 § 15 took effect October 1, 2026; see the act text.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-21 — security deposits
At transfer, the seller must take the tenants' security deposits, plus earned interest, out of the escrow account and deliver them to the buyer. Connecticut landlords must pay tenants interest each year at no less than the rate set by the Banking Commissioner; the state publishes the deposit index and interest rates.
The new owner is responsible for returning deposits when the tenancies end, even if the prior owner did not hand them over. The Department of Banking also explains Connecticut rental security deposits.

New Haven tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my New Haven house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses with tenants in place in New Haven and the New Haven County area, Connecticut. A sale does not by itself cancel a lease, so include the occupancy and lease in the sale discussion.
Do I have to evict 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. If you need tenants to leave, the lease and Connecticut's notice-to-quit and eviction rules still matter.
Does a sale end the lease or make the tenants leave?
No. In an ordinary sale, the buyer becomes the new landlord and existing leases generally stay in effect. A sale by itself does not end the tenancy or give anyone possession of the home.
What happens to security deposits when I sell?
At transfer, the seller must take tenants’ deposits and earned interest out of the escrow account and deliver them to the buyer. The new owner is responsible for returning deposits when tenancies end, even if the prior owner did not hand them over.
Can a change of ownership by itself be a reason to evict?
For some tenants, including people age 62 or older or with a disability in buildings with five or more units, Connecticut law requires good cause for eviction. A change of ownership by itself is not good cause.
