What we do with a tenant-occupied house

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what condition the Ocean City house is in and what has been difficult to coordinate around the tenants.

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 may work better for everyone, bring that up too. We can talk through the possibility alongside a sale with the tenants still in place; any move-out arrangement would need its own agreed terms.

Bring us the tenancy or access problem

A lease you are unsure how to handle, access that is hard to arrange, repairs that keep getting put off, or a difficult tenant conversation? Call us and explain what is happening. Start with what you know; you do not need to solve the tenancy before asking about a sale.

Call 888-274-5006 to talk through the Ocean City property and its tenancy.

What happens next

1. We discuss the house and tenancy
Tell us the address, who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, what repairs are needed, and the timing you have in mind. If you have the lease, rent or deposit records, or tenant communications nearby, those details can help the conversation.
2. We discuss the house and put the offer in writing
We talk through the house as it stands, the lease, occupancy, access, repairs, and timing. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You can review the written offer and terms before deciding.
3. We discuss the lease and closing handoff
If you choose to move ahead, the lease, tenant offer notices, security-deposit records, and who is living in the house are part of the handoff discussion with the closing professionals. The sale terms and required transfer records are put in writing before you commit.

Town of Ocean City Rental Hub

The Town’s Rental Hub explains its annual rental-license program and inspection guidance. The Town says a new rental license must schedule a rental inspection and open violations must be resolved before license renewal. Check with the Town about current requirements and the status of a particular property; this page cannot determine whether a license, inspection, or violation applies to your address.

Maryland leases, tenant offer rights, and security deposits

Selling the house does not by itself cancel the lease. If the sale closes with tenants in place, the new owner steps into the landlord’s place under the lease. You can discuss an occupied sale while keeping the tenant’s lease and rights in view.

A tenant may have a chance to make an offer

Maryland generally requires written notice of the tenant’s right to make an offer before an owner offers an eligible 1-to-3-unit rental property to anyone else, when a tenant named on the written lease has lived there at least six months. The tenant has 30 days to make an offer; if it matches the terms in the notice, the owner must accept it.

An unsolicited third-party offer, or a price at least 10% below the lowest price previously offered to the tenant, can also give the tenant 30 days to match the offer. Exceptions include transfers to family, court-ordered and foreclosure sales, and certain estate and trust transfers. Whether this law applies depends on the property, tenancy, and type of transfer.

Read Maryland Real Property §8-119 or the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development’s Right of First Refusal guidance.

Security deposits transfer with an accounting

When the property is sold, the security deposit goes to the buyer with an accounting showing each deposit’s amount and date, any interest-rate records, and the tenant’s name and last known address. Maryland sets no separate deadline for that handoff, but the seller remains liable for any deposit that is not passed along.

When a tenancy ends, the landlord must return the deposit with required interest within 45 days, less any permitted deductions. See Maryland Real Property §8-203 and the state’s Tenants’ Bill of Rights.

For the landlord’s rights after ownership changes, see Maryland Real Property §8-101.

Questions about selling an Ocean City house with tenants

Can I sell an Ocean City house with tenants still living there?

Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in the Town of Ocean City and Worcester County, including with tenants still living there. A sale does not by itself end the lease; the buyer takes the landlord’s place under it.

Do I have to evict tenants before I call?

No. You can call while the tenants are still there and talk through the lease, occupancy, access, repairs, and timing. We buy houses with tenants in place, so a move-out is not a prerequisite to starting a sale conversation.

Can a tenant have an opportunity to buy the rental property?

Maryland generally gives this opportunity for a 1-to-3-unit property when a tenant named on the written lease has lived there at least six months. The tenant generally has 30 days to make an offer after notice; exceptions and other offer situations can affect the process.

What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?

The deposit goes to the buyer with an accounting of each deposit’s amount and date, any interest-rate records, and the tenant’s name and last known address. Maryland sets no separate deadline for that sale handoff, but the seller remains liable for a deposit that is not passed along.

What should I have ready before I call?

Nothing has to be perfect. If available, have the property address, lease, rent and deposit records, access details, tenant communications, repair information, and the timing you are considering nearby. You can call before you have gathered everything.
