Springfield, IL seller help · Tenant-occupied property
Can I sell my Springfield house with tenants still living there?
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys tenant-occupied houses in Springfield and Sangamon County. A sale does not by itself cancel an existing lease, so we discuss occupancy and written terms rather than assuming tenants must move before a sale.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. You can start the conversation before the tenancy is resolved.
Talk through your tenant-occupied house
Share the Springfield address and what you know about the lease, occupancy, access, repairs and timing.
What we do
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 a tenant move-out arrangement may work better for everyone, we can discuss that too. Tell us what is happening; you do not have to settle the tenancy before you call.
No agent commissions when you sell to us.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, a difficult tenant conversation, limits on access, or repairs piling up? Tell us what is going on with the house and the tenancy. Call 888-274-5006 whenever you are ready to talk; you do not need to make the property vacant or resolve every question first.
What happens next
1. We talk through the house and tenancy
We discuss the property, who lives there, the lease or month-to-month arrangement, access, condition and the timing you are considering. Start with what you know.
2. You review the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
We provide the written offer and clear written terms for you to review before you commit. If you choose to move ahead, we close through a title company.
3. The closing details are discussed
We review title, payoff, occupancy and who has authority to sell. We also discuss the security-deposit balance and any prepaid rent as part of the closing details.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes.
This does not pay off the seller's mortgage or liens, back taxes, or the seller's share of current property taxes; those remain separate.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.

Tenant rights, leases and deposits in Illinois
An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place. A tenant does not have to move simply because the property sells; the sale by itself does not cancel the lease.
If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, Illinois generally requires 30 days' written notice. The lease or applicable local rules can require more. See 735 ILCS 5/9-207 for the state rule.
Security deposits and prepaid rent need to be accounted for at closing. An ordinary sale does not automatically release the previous landlord from those obligations. The Illinois Landlord and Tenant Act provides the state deposit rules; we discuss the deposit and prepaid-rent amounts as part of the sale.

No. An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place. The tenant does not have to move simply because the house sells; discuss the lease and occupancy as part of the sale.
What notice applies if I want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy?

What happens to security deposits and prepaid rent when I sell?

No. Tell us what the lease says about access, what the tenant arrangement is, and what repairs the house needs. We buy houses as-is, and you can call before sorting out every detail.
