Newport City, VT seller help · Tenant-occupied property
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.

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.
We start by talking through the house and the tenancy: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, and what you want to happen next. You do not have to settle every notice or move-out question before calling.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, difficult access, repairs, or uncertainty about who is staying? Tell us what is happening. We can talk through the property and tenancy before you decide what to do about possession.
Call 888-274-5006. You do not need to wait until every tenant or repair issue is resolved.

Vermont tenant rights, notice, possession, and deposits
Yes, you can sell a Vermont rental with tenants living in it. A sale does not itself evict the tenants or cancel the lease. If you want the house empty, the lease, your reason for ending the tenancy, and applicable rules matter.
Under the basic statewide no-cause rule when there is no written rental agreement, notice is at least 60 days if a tenant has lived there two years or less, and 90 days if the tenant has lived there longer than two years. For weekly rent, the minimum is 21 days. When there is no written rental agreement and the landlord has contracted to sell, Vermont law requires at least 30 days' actual notice.
We'll talk through the lease and deposit records with you and plan the buyer's security-deposit responsibilities for closing.
Read 9 V.S.A. §4467(c)–(e), Vermont's tenancy-termination and sale-notice rules for the statutory wording.

Can I sell my Newport City house while tenants are living there?
Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place. We can talk through the lease, occupancy, and security-deposit handoff with you.

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.

For weekly rent, the minimum is 21 days. When there is no written rental agreement and the landlord has contracted to sell, 9 V.S.A. §4467(d) requires at least 30 days’ actual notice.
