What we do

We can talk through the lease, who lives there, access, repairs, rent, the deposit, and timing with you.

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.

Bring us the problem

Lease timing, limited access, a difficult move-out conversation, or repairs getting in the way? Tell us what is happening with the tenancy and the house. We can discuss the sale while the tenants are still there.

Wisconsin leases, notice, possession, and security deposits

An ordinary sale generally leaves the lease in place, and the new owner takes over the landlord's obligations under it.

Possession after a sale

Tenants do not have to leave just because the house sells. The sale alone does not require you to deliver vacant possession.

Wis. Stat. §704.19 — month-to-month notice →

If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, the usual rule is written notice at least 28 days before the end of the rental period. The lease and the reason for ending it can change what is required.

Rent and security deposits

The lease, rent, and security-deposit balance are part of arranging closing. We can talk them through with you.
