What we do

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 may work better for everyone, tell us that too. We can discuss the occupancy and the house together; you do not need to settle every tenancy question before calling.

Local help for a Santa Fe rental

Use a city office only for a property within the City of Santa Fe, and confirm the address with the office if you are unsure. These offices can route code or recording questions; they do not decide a lease or security-deposit question for a specific tenancy.

City of Santa Fe Inspections and Enforcement

For a city code or property-maintenance concern, the City provides an Inspections and Enforcement route. Ask the City which process applies to the property and any notice you received.

Santa Fe County Clerk recording information

For recorded deeds and other land documents, the County Clerk lists its Recording Information route. The office is at 240 Grant Ave. (New Building), Santa Fe, NM 87501; call 505-986-6280. Recorded-property information does not answer who may occupy the house under a lease.

New Mexico leases, notice, possession, and security deposits

A sale does not automatically end the rental agreement; the new owner takes over its obligations. When ownership changes, give the tenant written notice of the change under New Mexico Statutes § 47-8-21 ↗.

If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, written notice must be given at least 30 days before the periodic rental date stated in the notice. For a week-to-week tenancy, the minimum is seven days before the termination date under § 47-8-37 ↗. A fixed lease and applicable local rules still matter. These periods address ending periodic tenancies; the sale itself does not end the lease or set a move-out date.

For a security deposit, keep the lease, current balance, and deposit records together, and note who holds the money. The new owner takes over the rental agreement obligations; include the agreed treatment of the actual deposit balance in the written sale and closing terms.
