What we do when tenants still live there

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 tenants would rather they move, we can talk about an agreed payment to help with the move. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

Local code help for a Schererville house

The Town of Schererville’s Code Enforcement office handles public health and safety, building and construction, and zoning concerns. See the Town’s Code Enforcement information or its Planning & Building Department. If a notice or repair issue is part of the rental situation, call us and we’ll talk through the house and tenancy with you.

Tenant rights, leases, and security deposits

Selling the house does not by itself end the rental agreement. You can sell while the tenants remain; the lease, rent, and security-deposit balance are part of the handoff.

Security deposit at closing

The tenant’s security deposit typically transfers with the house at closing, though the seller and buyer can agree to handle it differently. The rent and deposit balance are accounted for at closing.

Indiana Code § 32-31-3-19
