Niles, MI seller help · Tenant-occupied property
Yes. We buy houses as-is in Niles, Berrien County, and Cass County, including houses with tenants still living there.
That landlord exit comes after you sell the house to us. A sale alone does not cancel a lease or make a tenant move out. Tell us about the lease, occupancy, access, repairs, and timing; you do not have to settle every tenancy question before calling.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Share the Niles address and what you know about the lease, access, and occupancy.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
We talk through the house and the tenancy together: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the rent and deposit records, repairs, and the timing you have in mind.
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.
Cash-for-keys means a tenant agrees to move out in exchange for an agreed payment. If that may work better for everyone, discuss the terms with us and put any agreement in writing; the lease and applicable process still matter.
Lease timing, limited access, needed repairs, unpaid rent, or a move-out conversation can make a rental hard to sell the usual way. Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening. We can discuss the property as it stands and how the tenancy affects the handoff.
Tell us who lives there, the lease term, rent, access limits, known repairs, deposit balance, and your plans for possession. Start with what you know; you can call before deciding whether anyone needs to move.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. The proposed terms put the price and sale details in writing before you commit.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
Bring the lease, rent record, deposit balance and holder, tenant communications, and any possession agreement into the closing discussion. The title company can document the sale terms and the deposit handoff; the lease and Michigan law still govern the tenancy.
Check the property's actual municipality and county before using a local office. A Niles mailing address does not by itself show whether the property is inside the City of Niles or which county record office serves it.
The City's Building Safety Division describes rental-property inspections and local ordinance enforcement. For an address inside the City of Niles, contact the division at 269-683-2374 or 1345 E. Main St., Niles, MI 49120. If the property is outside city limits, check with its actual township or municipality.
Use this county office for deed and other recorded-document questions on the Berrien County portion of the Niles market. Recorded property documents can help with ownership and title questions; they do not decide lease or possession issues.
Use the Cass County Clerk/Register Office for deed and recorded-document questions on the Cass County portion of the Niles market. Confirm the parcel's county before contacting a recorder.
You can sell a house with a tenant in place. Keep the lease, notices, occupancy details, and deposit records with the sale information so the tenant handoff is addressed in writing.
A sale alone does not end the lease. If you want to end a tenancy, Michigan law sets different notice rules for different rental arrangements and reasons, including unpaid rent. The lease and the reason for ending the tenancy matter; the sale itself is not a move-out notice.
If a tenant does not leave after a tenancy has lawfully ended, the statute describes when a person entitled to possession may use summary court proceedings. A notice is not itself a court order to remove a tenant or change the locks.
The prior landlord remains responsible for the deposit until a statutory handoff occurs: the deposit is transferred to the successor and the tenant is mailed the successor's name and address, the successor meets the deposit requirements, or the deposit is returned to the tenant. A sale does not by itself erase the deposit or require that it be refunded at closing. Keep the amount, who holds it, and the handoff plan in the written closing discussion.
Call 888-274-5006 with a question about the house or tenancy. You can also compare the written offer with your other options using these Niles resources.
Yes. You can start the sale conversation with tenants in place. A sale alone does not cancel the lease or make the tenants leave; the lease and Michigan law still matter to the handoff.
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. Tell us about the house and tenancy.
The notice depends on the tenancy and the reason for ending it. Michigan law has different notice rules for different situations, and the sale itself does not set a move-out date. Check the lease and the applicable process before giving notice.
The deposit does not disappear or automatically become a refund because the house sold. Michigan law describes how the former landlord can transfer the deposit and notify the tenant, have the successor meet the deposit requirements, or return the deposit. Put the balance, holder, and handoff in the closing discussion.
Nothing has to be perfect. If available, have the address, lease, rent and deposit records, tenant communications, access limits, repair notes, notices, and the timing you are considering nearby.

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“We had a grease fire in the kitchen that spread to the wall and the cabinet above the range before we got it out. Insurance gave us actual cash value — $19,000 on a kitchen that would cost $35,000 to rebuild. I wasn't going to fight that for six months. USA Home Buyers bought the house as-is in nine days.”
“I worked at the Amazon distribution center in Kenosha and took a medical leave for six months. Fell behind on payments, the bank filed in Kenosha County Circuit Court — Wisconsin judicial foreclosure. USA Home Buyers explained exactly where the timeline was and moved fast. Written offer in twenty-four hours, closed in eleven days. Foreclosure dismissed.”
“We owned our Lakeview property for twenty-six years and the property taxes hit $6,400 this year. Both retired, two incomes gone to one Social Security check. The house had too many stairs for my husband's knees anyway. USA Home Buyers gave us a fair number and closed in seven days. We moved to a one-floor condo in Waukegan.”
