What we do
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.
Cash-for-keys means discussing an agreed payment for a tenant to move out. If helping the tenants move may work better for everyone, we can talk through that option; selling with tenants in place is also possible.

Minnesota lease, notice, possession, and security-deposit rules
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease or make a tenant move. The lease and applicable notice rules still matter if you want the tenancy to end; the deposit also has to be handled as part of the ownership change.
Minnesota Attorney General: Sale of the Building
In an ordinary sale, the existing lease transfers to the buyer, who becomes the landlord. Selling the house alone does not require the tenant to leave. If you want the tenancy to end, look at the lease and applicable notice rules; the sale itself is not a move-out date.
Minn. Stat. § 504B.135 — written notice for a tenancy at will
Minnesota law requires written notice to end a tenancy at will. That rule is for a tenancy at will, not a single notice formula for every fixed-term lease or situation. The lease and the type of tenancy matter when you consider possession.
Minn. Stat. § 504B.178 — security deposits
When ownership changes, the security deposit, including required interest, must be transferred to the new owner with notice to the tenant or returned to the tenant. The previous landlord generally has 60 days after the ownership change to do this, or less time if the new owner's deadline to account for the deposit comes sooner.
Keep the lease, deposit balance and interest, who holds the deposit, and tenant notices together so the handoff can account for the actual tenancy.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Pine City tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Pine City house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Pine City and Pine County, including houses with tenants in place. In an ordinary Minnesota sale, the existing lease transfers to the buyer, who becomes the landlord; the sale itself does not require the tenant to move.
Does selling the house end the lease or require the tenant to leave?
No. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease or require the tenant to move. Ending a tenancy depends on the lease and applicable notice rules, which are separate from the sale.
What notice applies to a tenancy at will?
Minnesota Statutes § 504B.135 addresses written notice for a tenancy at will. That rule is specific to that kind of tenancy; the lease and the facts matter when deciding what notice applies.
What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?
The security deposit, including required interest, must be transferred to the new owner with notice to the tenant or returned to the tenant. The former landlord generally has 60 days after the ownership change, or less time if the new owner’s deadline to account for the deposit comes sooner.
Do I need to arrange a move-out before I call?
No. You can call while the tenants are still there and talk through the lease, occupancy, access, repairs, and what you want the handoff to look like. The sale conversation does not require you to settle the possession question first.
What should I have ready for the conversation?
Start with what you know: the Pine City address, who lives there, the lease, access limits, repair issues, any tenant notices, the deposit balance and interest, and who holds the deposit. You can call before everything is organized.
