What we do
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Redding, CA and Shasta County. 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.
We can talk through the property, the people living there, the lease, and what you would like to happen next. You do not have to call only after deciding on eviction or a move-out plan.
Bring us the problem
Is the lease unclear, access difficult to coordinate, or a repair waiting while the house is occupied? Tell us what is happening. You can call 888-274-5006 and start with the parts you know.
What happens next
Tell us who lives there, what the lease or rental agreement says, what access is practical, what condition the house is in, and what timing you are considering. If you have them, bring the lease, rent and deposit records, and relevant tenant notices to the conversation.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. The property and occupancy details help us prepare the offer. You can review the proposed price and terms before you decide.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
The title company coordinates the closing documents. Share the lease, deposit balance and records, and tenant notices so the handoff can account for the existing occupancy. The written offer and terms describe the agreed sale.
Local help
Local offices depend on the property address and the question. The City of Redding distinguishes city matters from Shasta County outside city limits and from the separate City of Anderson and City of Shasta Lake routes. Check the address before relying on a city contact.
For a code or property-maintenance concern at an address within Redding city limits, review the City's Code Enforcement information and complaint channels. The City contact page provides local routing information for addresses outside Redding as well.
City Code Enforcement · City contact and jurisdiction routing
If the occupancy is a short-term rental rather than a conventional lease, the City publishes permit, ordinance, and application materials with a location-check map. Those materials address short-term rentals; they do not answer what applies to a long-term tenancy.
For a building permit or inspection question about a property within Redding, the City publishes separate Building and Inspection Services pages. Use the address to ask which office handles the specific work.
Tenant rights and security deposits
You can sell while a tenant is living in the house, but the sale itself does not cancel the lease or rental agreement. The buyer takes the property subject to it and gets the same rights to collect rent and enforce the lease. Share the lease and occupancy information so the buyer and closing team can plan the handoff. California Civil Code § 821.
When your ownership ends, you can transfer the remaining deposit to the buyer after lawful deductions. Notify the tenant by personal delivery or first-class mail of the transfer, any claims against the deposit, the amount transferred, and the buyer's name, address, and phone number.
Or return the remaining deposit to the tenant with an itemized accounting. If these steps are skipped, the buyer can share liability for the deposit. The sale handoff should account for each deposit and the records behind it. California Civil Code § 1950.5(i)–(k).
Plan for the new owner to give tenants its contact and rent-payment information within 15 days after the ownership change. Local rent and eviction rules may also apply. California Civil Code § 1962.
Keep the lease, deposit balance and records, and tenant notices together for the title-company closing. A sale does not by itself set a move-out date or make the existing lease disappear.

Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place. A sale does not by itself end the lease or rental agreement, so the occupancy and lease are part of the handoff.

No. A sale does not by itself end the lease or rental agreement. The buyer takes the property subject to it and has the same rights to collect rent and enforce the lease.
When your ownership ends, California law gives you two routes for the remaining deposit: transfer it to the buyer after lawful deductions and give the tenant the required notice, or return it to the tenant with an itemized accounting. The new owner must give tenants contact and rent-payment information within 15 days.
