What we do

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We buy in the Village of Sidney and throughout Delaware County.

You don't 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. Tell us about the property and tenancy.

If a tenant move-out arrangement may work better for everyone, we can talk through cash-for-keys as one option. The lease and New York rules still matter; a sale itself does not end the tenancy.

Bring us the problem

Lease timing, limited access, repair needs, or a difficult tenant conversation? Tell us what is happening. We can talk through the house and the tenancy without asking you to resolve those issues before making contact.

What happens next

  1. 1. We discuss the house and tenancy

    We talk through the property, who lives there, the lease, occupancy, access, condition, and timing. Start with what you know; the house does not have to be vacant for us to talk.

  2. 2. You review the written offer and terms

    We put the offer and its terms in writing for you to review before you decide whether to commit.

  3. 3. A title company handles closing

    If you decide to proceed, closing is through a title company. The lease, occupancy, and security-deposit details are part of the closing discussion and handoff.

New York tenant rights, notice, and security deposits

A sale does not by itself cancel a lease. In an ordinary sale, the existing lease and tenant protections generally remain in place, and the buyer becomes the landlord. Tenants do not have to move just because the house sells.

Notice before ending a tenancy

If a tenancy can lawfully end, New York's advance notice can be 30, 60, or 90 days depending on the tenant's occupancy and lease term. Good Cause Eviction and rent regulation can also limit nonrenewal for homes covered by those protections.

The New York Attorney General's Residential Tenants' Rights Guide covers statewide renter protections. The specific lease, property coverage, notices, and deposit records determine which rules apply.

Sidney tenant-occupied seller questions

Can I sell a Sidney house while tenants still live there?

You don't 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. Tell us about the property and tenancy.

Does selling the house cancel the lease?

No. An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease and tenant protections in place, and the buyer becomes the landlord. Tenants do not have to move just because the house sells.

How much notice is needed to end a New York tenancy?

If a tenancy can lawfully end, New York's advance notice can be 30, 60, or 90 days depending on the tenant's occupancy and lease term. Good Cause Eviction and rent regulation can also limit nonrenewal for homes covered by those protections.

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

At a sale, the security deposit must be transferred to the new owner within five days or returned to the tenants, with the required notice.
