Portsmouth, OH · Tenant-occupied property
Yes. You can sell your Portsmouth house with tenants still living there. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Portsmouth and Scioto County, Ohio, including houses with tenants in place. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease, and you do not have to arrange a move-out before starting a sale conversation.
Call 888-274-5006 or tell us what is happening with the lease, access, occupancy, or repairs.
Share the address and what is happening with the lease and occupancy.
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 works better for everyone, we can talk through a cash-for-keys option alongside a sale with the tenants in place. Tell us what you would like to happen with the occupancy.

A sale does not by itself cancel a lease. The lease typically stays with the house, and when we buy a tenant-occupied house, we become the landlord. Tenants do not have to move just because the property is sold.
Ohio Revised Code §5321.17 calls for written notice at least 30 days before the next rent due date to end a month-to-month tenancy, or 7 days for a week-to-week tenancy. These notice periods apply to those tenancy types; they are not a requirement to move tenants out before selling with them in place. Read Ohio Revised Code §5321.17.
Security deposits typically transfer to us at closing. Keep the lease and deposit records together so the amount and handoff can be addressed in the written terms.
