Can I Sell My Normal House With Tenants Still Living There?
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
That is what you get after selling the house to us. Yes, you can sell while tenants still live there. We buy houses in Normal and McLean County.
Call 888-274-5006 or tell us about the house and tenancy below.
Talk through your Normal tenant-occupied house
Tell us the address and what is happening with the lease, occupancy, access, or repairs. You can talk with us before deciding what to do about the tenancy.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Tell us about the house and the tenancy.
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.
If helping the tenants move could work better for everyone, we can talk through a cash-for-keys arrangement. You do not have to arrange that before you call.
Bring us the tenancy, access, or repair problem
Tell us about the lease, who is living there, any access limits, and repairs you do not want to take on. We can discuss the house and tenancy together; you do not have to solve it first.
Call 888-274-5006 whenever you are ready to talk.
What happens next
1. We talk through the lease, occupancy, and house
We discuss who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the house's condition, and the handoff you want. Start with what you know.
2. You get the offer and terms in writing
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
3. We talk through the handoff and closing
We discuss the lease, occupancy, and any security deposit or prepaid rent as part of the handoff. The written terms show what you agreed to.

Illinois leases, notice, possession, and deposits
An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place. A tenant does not have to move just because the house sells; the sale itself does not end the lease or set a move-out date.
If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, Illinois generally requires 30 days' written notice. The lease or local rules can require more.
Security deposits and prepaid rent typically transfer with the house at closing, though the details are often negotiated. We discuss them with you as part of the handoff.
- Illinois Code of Civil Procedure, 735 ILCS 5/9-207 — notice rules for month-to-month tenancies.
- Illinois Security Deposit Return Act, 765 ILCS 710 — state security-deposit requirements.
