New York City seller help · Tenant-occupied property
Yes. You can sell a New York City house while tenants are still living there. An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease and tenant protections in place; the sale alone does not make the tenant move.

Call 888-274-5006 or share the address in the form. You can call while the tenants are still there.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
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.
We start with the house and the tenancy: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, what condition or repair issues you are facing, and what you want to happen next. You can talk through the sale without first resolving every tenancy question.
Lease questions, limited access, repairs, written notices, or uncertainty about the next step? Tell us what is happening with the house and the tenancy. Call 888-274-5006.

Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
The lease, occupancy, and security-deposit information are part of the handoff. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New York State real estate transfer tax and any applicable local real estate transfer taxes. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
New York City has five borough areas: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. The county name follows the borough: Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens, and Richmond counties, respectively. Confirm the borough for the address when looking up local property records.
HPD explains annual registration requirements for residential multiple dwellings and certain one- or two-unit private dwellings. Its page is a starting point for a rental-property question; it does not determine a particular building’s registration or lease rights.
The City Register identifies recorded-property services for the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens and lists the county offices. ACRIS is for recorded property documents, not a decision about a lease or tenant’s rights.
Use the City’s online property-tax records for a city property-tax account or notice lookup. Tax records and ACRIS records serve different purposes; neither page is a title opinion or a parcel-specific tax calculation.
Use the City’s borough directory to orient the address: Bronx is Bronx County, Brooklyn is Kings County, Manhattan is New York County, Queens is Queens County, and Staten Island is Richmond County.
An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease and tenant protections in place, and the buyer becomes the landlord. A tenant does not have to move just because the house sells. For plain-language information, read the New York Attorney General’s Residential Tenants’ Rights Guide.
If a tenancy can lawfully end, New York advance notice can be 30, 60, or 90 days depending on the tenant’s occupancy and lease term. Good Cause Eviction and rent regulation can also limit nonrenewal where they apply. See Real Property Law §226-c for the notice periods and Good Cause notice.
At a sale, security deposits must be transferred to the new owner within five days or returned to tenants, with the required notice. Keep the leases, deposit records, and notices with the closing information. The rule is in General Obligations Law §7-105.
Testimonials are real, from our transactions, verified and approved by our attorneys. Each review keeps its location so you can see where the seller was based.
