The sale itself does not cancel a lease or require the tenants to move, so the current lease and occupancy stay part of the sale discussion.

USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Newark and Essex County, New Jersey — in any condition, with no repairs, cleaning, or 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.
Tell us about the property and tenancy. We can discuss whether buying with the tenants in place or talking through a move-out arrangement may work better for everyone.
Is the lease timing unclear? Is access difficult, is there a repair list, or are you unsure who is living in the house? Tell us what is happening with the tenancy and the property. You do not have to resolve every issue before calling.
Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through.
We talk through the Newark address, who lives there, the lease and dates, access, repairs, security-deposit records, and what you want to happen with the property.

Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
If you choose to move forward, the lease, occupancy plan, tenant communications, and security-deposit records belong in the written closing details. A title company handles the closing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Jersey's realty transfer fee and any applicable graduated percent fee. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

A sale does not by itself cancel a lease or make tenants leave. Keep the lease, amendments, occupancy details, notices, and deposit records in view when planning the sale and handoff.
The buyer and tenant remain bound by the existing rental agreement until it expires. A sale transfers the property; it does not, by itself, end the lease.
The Act protects most residential tenants. A tenant covered by it may be removed only for a reason listed in the law and through a court. Selling the house is not one of those reasons, and the same limits apply to the new owner. A foreclosure alone is not a reason to remove a tenant either.
The Act does not cover a building where the owner lives and there are no more than two rental units.
An owner of a building with three or fewer homes may seek to recover a home to live there personally. An owner may also seek possession after signing a contract to sell to a buyer who will live there, when the contract requires the home to be empty at closing.
These routes require two months' written notice before the court case. If there is a written lease, it must have expired before the case can start. These narrow rules do not make an ordinary sale a reason to remove a tenant.
Within five days after the deed is delivered, the seller must give the buyer the tenant's security deposit plus the interest the tenant has earned. The seller must tell the tenant by registered or certified mail who now holds the deposit. The new owner is responsible for it whether or not the seller transferred it.
Foreclosure alone is not a reason to remove a tenant. A sale or foreclosure does not replace the tenant's rights or any court process that applies.
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses with tenants in place in Newark and Essex County. The sale itself does not cancel the lease, so the lease and occupancy belong in the sale discussion.
No. A sale by itself does not end the lease or require tenants to move. The buyer and tenant remain subject to the existing rental agreement until it expires, and New Jersey tenant protections still apply.

No. For tenants covered by New Jersey’s Anti-Eviction Act, the new owner is subject to the same limits as the prior owner: removal must be for a reason listed in the law and through a court. There are narrow owner-occupancy rules for certain small buildings, described below.
