Plattsburgh, NY seller help · Tenant-occupied property

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

Yes. You can sell a Plattsburgh house while tenants still live there. In an ordinary sale, the lease and tenant protections generally remain in place and the buyer becomes the landlord. A sale by itself does not mean anyone has to move.

What we do with a tenant-occupied house

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.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

Sometimes the better conversation is about whether the tenants want to move and whether a voluntary move-out arrangement could work for everyone. You can raise that possibility with us, but nobody should assume a tenant has agreed to leave; the lease and tenant protections still matter.

Bring us the tenancy, access, or repair problem

Tell us what is happening with the lease, who lives in the house, how access works, what repairs are waiting, and any notices or timing concerns. Start with what you know; we can talk through the property without asking you to solve every tenancy issue first.

Call 888-274-5006 and tell us about the Plattsburgh or Clinton County house.

What happens next

  1. 1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house

    Share the address, lease term, who occupies the property, rent and deposit information, access limits, condition, repairs, notices, and the timing you have in mind. If you have the lease and records nearby, they can make the conversation more specific.

  2. 2. We put the offer and terms in writing

    We talk through the property as it stands and the tenancy details that affect the handoff. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

  3. 3. The title company handles closing

    The lease, occupancy, notices, and security-deposit records need to be part of the closing discussion. Keep those records together so the title and closing professionals can address the documents for this sale.

Local help for a Plattsburgh rental

Check which municipality has jurisdiction over the property before relying on a city office for rental or property-maintenance questions. These official local links provide a starting point for municipal contacts and county seller-record questions.

City of Plattsburgh official website

For a property inside the City of Plattsburgh, start with the city's official site to find the current municipal contact for a rental or property-maintenance question. Confirm the property's municipality before relying on city-specific information.

Clinton County Clerk's Office

The county clerk is an official local office for seller-record questions. Use the county's office information for the record question you need to ask.

New York lease, notice, possession, and security-deposit rules

A sale does not by itself cancel a lease. The existing lease and tenant protections generally continue in an ordinary sale, and the buyer becomes the landlord. The actual lease and tenancy determine which details apply.

New York Real Property Law §226-c: advance notice

If a tenancy can lawfully end, New York's advance notice can be 30, 60, or 90 days depending on the tenant's occupancy and lease term. Good Cause Eviction and rent regulation can also limit nonrenewal. A notice period does not mean a sale itself ends the lease.

Plattsburgh tenant-occupied seller questions

Can I sell my Plattsburgh house with tenants still living there?

Yes. In an ordinary sale, the existing lease and tenant protections generally remain in place and the buyer becomes the landlord. A sale by itself does not mean the tenants must move.

Do I have to evict before talking to you?

No. We buy houses with tenants in place, so you can talk through the lease, occupancy, access, and possible plans before deciding what to do. The lease and tenant protections still apply.

How much notice may be required if a tenancy can end?

New York advance notice can be 30, 60, or 90 days depending on the tenant’s occupancy and lease term. Good Cause Eviction and rent regulation can also limit nonrenewal. A sale alone does not end the tenancy.

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

At a sale, the security deposit must be transferred to the new owner within five days or returned to the tenants, with the required notice. Keep the deposit records and bring them, the lease, and notices to closing.

What should I tell you about the tenancy?

Start with the property address and what you know about the lease, occupancy, rent, access, repairs, notices, and timing. You can call now; you do not have to resolve every tenancy question before contacting us.
