Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in the Town of Skowhegan and Somerset County, Maine, including houses with tenants still living there. A sale does not by itself cancel a lease, so the occupancy and handoff still matter.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form below. You can start the conversation before deciding what should happen with the tenancy.
Share the address and what you know about the lease, occupancy, access, repairs, and timing. Start with what you know; the details do not have to be organized first.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Share the address, lease, occupancy, access, repairs, and timing.
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 helping the tenants move may work better for everyone, we can discuss cash-for-keys as part of the property and tenancy conversation.
Tell us what is making the rental hard to sell: lease timing, limited access, repairs, occupancy questions, or uncertainty about a move-out plan. We can talk through the house and tenancy together; you do not need to solve everything before you call.
Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening.
We talk through the Skowhegan address, who is living there, what the lease says, access, condition and repairs, deposit records, and the timing you have in mind.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
If you choose to proceed, the written terms and title-company closing address the sale. The lease, occupancy, and security-deposit handoff remain part of the discussion; a sale alone does not end the tenancy.
For local routing on rental or property-code questions, start with the Town of Skowhegan and confirm which office handles the address. The Town and Somerset County are distinct geographies, so check that a property is inside the Town before relying on town-specific information.
Contact the Town about municipal rental or property-code questions for an address within the Town. The Maine rules below cover lease notice and security deposits; local municipal offices do not replace those state rules.
For the statewide rules that affect a tenant-occupied sale, see the official statutes on tenancy at will and notice, security-deposit transfer on sale, and a new owner’s security-deposit responsibilities.
You can sell a Maine rental with tenants still living there. A sale does not by itself cancel tenants’ rights or make the house vacant. The lease and the actual occupancy still matter when planning possession and the handoff.
The buyer steps in as the new landlord, and a written lease stays in force for its term. A sale by itself does not end that lease or set a move-out date. Plan for possession under the lease and applicable notice requirements rather than assuming the house will be vacant at closing.
If you are ending a Maine tenancy at will, it generally takes at least 30 days’ written notice. A sale is not one of the reasons Maine allows a shorter notice. That rule is for a tenancy at will; check the actual lease and circumstances before setting a possession date. See 14 M.R.S. § 6002.
On a sale, you must either transfer each security deposit to the buyer with an accounting or return it to the tenant less lawful deductions. If the deposit goes to the buyer, mail each tenant a notice with the buyer’s name and address and a copy of the accounting. The transfer and accounting must happen no later than closing, and you must give the buyer written proof at closing. Once that is done, you are released from further liability for those funds. See 14 M.R.S. § 6035.
The buyer then takes responsibility for the deposit, must keep it separate from the buyer’s own money, and must return it as Maine law requires. See 14 M.R.S. § 6038.
Yes. You can discuss a sale while tenants are still there. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease: the buyer steps in as the new landlord, and a written lease stays in force for its term.
No. You can talk with us before deciding what should happen with possession. We buy houses with tenants in place, and the lease and applicable Maine rules still matter.
A Maine tenancy at will generally takes at least 30 days’ written notice to end. A sale is not one of the reasons Maine allows a shorter notice.
You must either transfer each deposit to the buyer with an accounting or return it to the tenant less lawful deductions. If you transfer it, mail the tenant the buyer’s name and address and a copy of the accounting. The transfer and accounting are due no later than closing, with written proof for the buyer at closing.
