What we do with tenant-occupied houses

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.

We buy the house as it stands, without requiring you to clean it out or make repairs first. If helping the tenants move may work better for everyone, tell us; we can discuss whether a move-out arrangement fits the property and tenancy.

Bring us the problem

Lease timing, tenant access, repairs or uncertainty about a move-out plan can make a rental hard to sell. Tell us what is happening at the house and what you want the sale to accomplish. You do not need a complete plan before you call 888-274-5006.

What happens next

  1. 1. We discuss the house and tenancy

    We talk through the St. Johnsbury or Caledonia County address, the house condition, who lives there, the lease, rent and deposit records, access, repairs and the timing you have in mind. Start with what you know; you can call before you have every document together.

  2. 2. We give you a written offer to review

    We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the proposed price and terms before deciding whether to commit.

  3. 3. The closing company reviews the handoff

    If you decide to proceed, the title company works through the sale documents and closing details. Keep the lease and deposit records ready so the buyer's responsibilities for the tenancy can be arranged at closing.

Vermont leases, notice and security deposits

A sale does not by itself cancel a lease or evict the tenants. If you want the house empty, the lease, the reason for ending the tenancy and the rules that apply to the property matter.

9 V.S.A. §4467(c)–(e) — tenancy notice and sale

Without a written rental agreement, Vermont's basic statewide no-cause rule requires at least 60 days' notice if the tenant has lived there two years or less, and at least 90 days if the tenant has lived there longer than two years. For weekly rent, the minimum is 21 days.

A separate sale rule applies when there is no written rental agreement and the landlord has contracted to sell: the state rule requires at least 30 days' actual notice. These periods apply to the situations described; they are not one notice period for every lease or reason.

Security deposits and the closing handoff

Have the leases and deposit records ready. Arrange the buyer's responsibilities for the tenancy at closing, including how the deposit records will be handled for this sale.

Check the actual lease, the reason for ending the tenancy and any local rules before relying on a notice period. The statewide notice rules above do not by themselves make a tenant move out simply because the house is sold.

St. Johnsbury tenant-occupied seller questions

Can I sell my St. Johnsbury house while tenants are still living there?

Yes. You can discuss a sale while tenants live in the house. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease, so include the lease, occupancy and deposit records in the closing discussion.

Do I have to evict tenants before I call?

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. Tell us about the property and tenancy.

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

Have the lease and deposit records ready, and arrange the buyer's responsibilities as part of closing. The written closing arrangements should account for the tenancy and the deposit records.

How much notice is needed if I want the house empty?

It depends on the lease, the reason for ending the tenancy and the rules that apply. Vermont’s basic statewide no-cause periods without a written rental agreement are at least 60 days for a tenant who has lived there two years or less, and 90 days for more than two years; weekly rent has a 21-day minimum. If there is no written rental agreement and the landlord has contracted to sell, the state rule requires at least 30 days’ actual notice.

What should I have ready before we talk?

Nothing has to be perfect. If available, have the property address, lease, rent and deposit records, access limits, notices, repair information and the timing you are considering nearby.
