What we do
We discuss the house and tenancy together: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, what repairs are involved, and what timing you are considering. You can bring us the situation before you have every detail worked out.
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 moving the tenants may work better for everyone, we can discuss whether a cash-for-keys arrangement fits. Any move-out terms should be agreed to and put in writing.
Bring us the problem
Is the lease near renewal, is access hard to arrange, do repairs need attention, or are you unsure how the deposit should be handled? Tell us what is happening with the Scottsbluff house and tenancy. You can start with what you know.

Local help for Scotts Bluff County property records
The Scotts Bluff County Register of Deeds maintains and secures county land records. It is a local starting point for recorded deed questions during a title review, not a source for deciding lease, notice, possession, or deposit rights.
Nebraska leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease or require the tenants to leave. The buyer takes the house subject to the lease and becomes the new landlord. If you want the house vacant, the lease and the notice and possession process for that tenancy still matter; do not treat the sale itself as a move-out date.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1420 — sale and tenant notice
In a good-faith sale, the seller is no longer responsible for events after the tenant receives written notice of the sale. The buyer becomes the landlord. The seller remains responsible for the security deposit and prepaid rent unless they are handed over to the buyer with written notice to the tenant.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1437 — ending periodic tenancies
To end a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord or tenant must give written notice at least 30 days before the rent day named in the notice. A week-to-week tenancy takes at least 7 days' written notice. A fixed-term lease and other legal protections may require a different approach.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1416 — security-deposit limits and return
A security deposit cannot exceed one month's rent, plus a pet deposit of up to one-quarter of a month's rent. Whoever owns the house when the tenancy ends must return the deposit, minus lawful deductions and with a written list of them, within 14 days.
Keep the lease and deposit handoff clear
Have each lease, the deposit balance, prepaid-rent record, and tenant communications ready for closing. Put any handoff to the buyer in writing and give the tenant written notice so it is clear who holds the funds and who is responsible for them.

Tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell a Scottsbluff house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can sell a tenant-occupied house. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease; the buyer takes the house subject to it and becomes the new landlord.
Do I have to evict before I call?
No. You can call before making an eviction or possession decision. We buy houses with tenants in place, and the lease and occupancy details shape the handoff.
What happens to the security deposit and prepaid rent?
The seller remains responsible for the security deposit and prepaid rent unless they are handed over to the buyer with written notice to the tenant. When the tenancy ends, the owner then must return the deposit, minus lawful deductions, with a written list within 14 days.
What written notice ends a month-to-month or week-to-week tenancy?
Nebraska requires written notice at least 30 days before the rent day named in the notice for a month-to-month tenancy, and at least 7 days for a week-to-week tenancy. A fixed-term lease and other legal protections may require a different approach.
