What we do
We talk through the house and the tenancy together: what the lease says, who lives there, rent and deposit details, access limits, repairs, and the timing you are considering.
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 you and the tenant want to discuss a voluntary move-out, tell us. We can talk about whether a cash-for-keys arrangement may fit the situation; the lease and any applicable process still matter.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, limited access, a tenant communication issue, or repairs that are hard to coordinate? Call and tell us what is happening. We can discuss the tenancy and the house as they are; you do not have to solve every detail before starting the conversation.

What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
Share what you know about the lease term, who lives there, rent, security deposit, access, property condition, and your timing. We can start with the facts you have.
2. We put the offer and terms in writing
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the proposed price and terms before you decide.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
3. The closing follows the title-company process
The written closing details can account for the lease, occupancy, rent, and security-deposit balance. An ordinary sale does not, by itself, end the tenancy.

The county identifies this office for its real-estate-record repository. Recorded property documents can help with the sale and title review; lease and tenant questions are separate.
Wisconsin leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
An ordinary sale generally leaves the lease in place. Tenants do not have to leave just because the house sells, and the new owner generally takes over the landlord's obligations under the lease.
Notice for an ordinary month-to-month tenancy
If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, the usual rule is written notice at least 28 days before the end of a rental period. The lease and the reason for ending the tenancy can change what is required.
Rent and security-deposit balance
Account for the lease, rent, and security-deposit balance when arranging the closing. Bring the current lease and deposit information to the discussion of written terms and the handoff.
Read the Wisconsin statutes on leases and notice in Wis. Stat. §§ 704.09 and 704.19, and see the Wisconsin DATCP Landlord-Tenant Guide (March 2026), “Change of Ownership,” printed page 12.

Questions about selling with tenants
Can I sell my Rice Lake house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can discuss a sale while tenants are still there. An ordinary sale generally leaves the lease in place, so include the lease and occupancy plan in the handoff.
Does selling the house end the lease or make tenants leave?
No. A sale by itself does not cancel the lease, and tenants do not have to leave just because the house sells. The new owner generally takes over the landlord’s obligations under the lease.
How much notice applies to an ordinary month-to-month tenancy in Wisconsin?
The usual rule is written notice at least 28 days before the end of a rental period. The lease and the reason for ending the tenancy can change what is required.
