Oil City, PA · Venango County · Tenant-occupied property

You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.

That is the landlord-exit benefit after you sell the property to USA Home Buyers. You can sell with tenants still living there; the sale does not by itself cancel a lease or mean the tenants have to move.

What we do

Buy the house with the tenants still there

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 a tenant move-out arrangement would work better for everyone, tell us. We can discuss the tenancy and the house without asking you to settle every access or possession question before the conversation.

Bring us the problem

Start with the part of the tenancy that is getting in the way

Tell us about an unclear lease, limited access, needed repairs, rent or deposit questions, tenant communication, or a move-out discussion. Call or use the form above; you do not need to have everything resolved first.

Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening.

What happens next

Discuss the lease, occupancy, and house before you decide

  1. 1. Tell us what is going on

    Share the property address, lease details, who lives there, access limits, condition or repairs, and the timing you are considering. Start with what you know.

  2. 2. Review a written cash offer

    After we discuss the house and tenancy, we put the offer and terms in writing. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You can review them before deciding whether to sell. If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.

  3. 3. Agree on the handoff details

    Before closing, discuss occupancy, any possession plan, and how the security deposit will be handled. The written closing terms show the agreed deposit treatment.

Tenant rights and deposits

A sale does not by itself cancel the lease

You can sell with tenants still living in the house. The sale alone does not end the lease or require the tenants to leave. If you want the house empty first, notice and possession are separate steps governed by the lease and Pennsylvania law.

Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act §501 — notice to quit

A notice to quit is the written notice used when a landlord seeks possession. The usual notice is 10 days for unpaid rent, and 15 or 30 days when a lease ends, depending on how long the lease is. Selling with the tenant still there may mean you do not need to give notice just to sell.

Pennsylvania Rule 517 — court possession process

A notice is not an order for possession or an automatic move-out date. If a tenant does not leave and you seek possession, the court process is separate; a notice alone does not authorize changing locks or removing occupants.

What happens to the security deposit?

At closing, the tenant's security deposit is typically shown as a line on the settlement statement and transferred with the rental. Sometimes it is handled differently by agreement, and the written closing terms will show how. Keep the lease, deposit balance, and information about who holds the deposit handy for the closing discussion.

Can I sell my Oil City house while tenants still live there?

Yes. You can sell with tenants in place. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease or require the tenants to move; tell us about the occupancy and lease when you contact us.

Do I have to evict before I sell?

No. You can talk with us about selling while tenants remain. If you want the house empty first, Pennsylvania notice and court-possession rules are separate from the sale; see the notice and possession section on this page.
