A sale does not by itself cancel an ordinary lease
An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place. A tenant does not have to move simply because the house sells.

Can I Sell My Taylorville House With Tenants Still Living There?
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
When you sell your Taylorville house to us, you can sell with tenants still living there. A sale does not by itself cancel an ordinary lease or mean the tenants have to move.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form to talk through the house and tenancy.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Tell us about the house and tenant situation.
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. Tell us about the property and tenancy.
If a move-out agreement could work better for everyone, we can talk about cash-for-keys as one option. You do not have to decide on a tenant move before speaking with us.
Bring us the problem
Tell us what is happening with the lease, access, occupancy, or repairs. We can talk through the house and the tenancy together; you do not need to have every issue solved before you call.
