What we do with tenants in the house

We buy houses as-is in Salisbury and Wicomico 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.

If a move-out arrangement would work better for everyone, tell us. The lease and the actual tenancy still matter; a sale by itself does not end either one.

Bring us the problem

Lease timing, limited access, repairs, tenant communication, or uncertainty about occupancy can all be part of the conversation. Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening; you do not have to decide on eviction before talking with us.

What happens next

  1. 1. We discuss the house and tenancy

    We talk through the Salisbury or Wicomico County address, who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the house's condition, and your timing. Start with what you know; you can call before you have every document together.

  2. 2. You review the written offer and terms

    We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the proposed price and terms instead of relying on a verbal number.

    Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

  3. 3. The lease and deposit join the handoff

    If you choose to proceed, the title-company closing accounts for the sale paperwork. Share the lease, occupancy details, and deposit records for the handoff discussion. A sale does not erase the lease or the deposit obligations.

Local help for a Salisbury rental

City requirements depend on the property's actual location. A Salisbury mailing address alone does not show that a property is inside City limits; use the City's address-based lookup before relying on a city office or requirement.

City of Salisbury address-based limits lookup

Check the property address with the City before treating it as inside city limits. The city boundary and a Salisbury postal address are not the same thing, and the lookup is for jurisdiction checking rather than a parcel or title determination.

Wicomico County Circuit Court Clerk

The Clerk identifies land-record services, including deeds and mortgages. The office is at 101 North Division Street, Room 105, Salisbury, MD 21801. Use this for a recorded-land-document route, not for deciding lease terms or tenant rights.

Maryland leases, tenant purchase rights, and security deposits

The lease stays in place after a sale

A sale does not by itself cancel the lease. The buyer steps into the landlord's place with the same rights under it, so tenants do not have to move just because the owner changes. See Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8-101.

A tenant may get a chance to make an offer

For a property with one to three units, Maryland generally requires written notice of the tenant's right to make an offer before you offer the property to anyone else if a tenant named on the written lease has lived there at least six months. The tenant gets 30 days to make an offer; if that offer matches the terms in your notice, you must accept it.

An unsolicited third-party offer, or a price at least 10% below the lowest price previously offered to the tenant, can also give the tenant 30 days to match the offer. Exceptions include transfers to family, court-ordered and foreclosure sales, and certain estate and trust transfers. See Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8-119 and Maryland DHCD's Right of First Refusal information.

Pass the security deposit and its records to the buyer

At sale, the security deposit goes to the buyer with an accounting showing each deposit's amount and date, any interest-rate records, and the tenant's name and last known address. Maryland sets no separate deadline for that handoff, but you remain liable for any deposit you do not pass along. Deposits must be returned with interest within 45 days after a tenancy ends. See Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8-203(d)(3) and (e).

Maryland DHCD publishes a statewide Maryland Tenants' Bill of Rights. It is a general resource; the lease and the details of the tenancy still matter.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers

Salisbury tenant-occupied seller questions

Can I sell my Salisbury house while tenants are still living there?

Yes. You can sell with tenants in place. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease; the buyer takes the landlord’s place under it, so tenants do not have to move just because the property is sold.

Do I have to evict tenants before selling to you?

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. A sale by itself does not end a lease or require a tenant to move.

Can a tenant have a chance to make an offer first?

Sometimes. For a one-to-three-unit rental, Maryland generally requires written notice of a tenant’s right to make an offer before you offer it to anyone else if a tenant named on the written lease has lived there at least six months. The tenant generally gets 30 days to make an offer. See the Maryland tenant-purchase section below for the matching-offer rule and exceptions.

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

The deposit goes to the buyer with an accounting of each deposit’s amount and date, interest-rate records, and the tenant’s name and last known address. Maryland sets no separate deadline for that handoff, but you remain liable for any deposit you do not pass along. A deposit must be returned with interest within 45 days after a tenancy ends.

How soon will I get a written cash offer?

We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
