What we do
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. We start by talking through who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, and what repairs or timing questions are in the way.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
If a tenant move-out arrangement might work better for everyone, we can discuss it as one possible path. Cash-for-keys means an agreed payment connected to a move-out; any arrangement should be written down and checked against the lease and applicable Connecticut process.

Lease timing, limited access, overdue repairs, a difficult tenant conversation, or uncertainty about the deposit? Call and tell us what is happening. You do not need to have every detail sorted out before you start the conversation.

Use the city's land-records page as a local starting point for property-document questions connected to a sale. The page is for land-record information, not tenant-rights advice.
Connecticut Department of Banking: Rental Security Deposits
The state Department of Banking explains Connecticut rental security-deposit rules. Its deposit index and interest-rate page provides the rate information used for tenant-deposit interest.
Connecticut tenant rights and security deposits
In an ordinary sale, the buyer becomes the new landlord and existing leases generally stay in effect. Selling the property by itself does not end the tenancy. If a tenancy needs to end, the lease and Connecticut's notice-to-quit and eviction rules still apply. See Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-23 and § 47a-23c.
A change of ownership does not end every tenancy
Some tenants, including tenants who are 62 or older or have a disability in buildings with five or more units, can be evicted only for good cause. A change of ownership does not count as good cause. This protection is addressed in Connecticut General Statutes § 47a-23c and Public Act 26-11 § 15, effective October 1, 2026.
Security deposits and interest transfer with the sale
At transfer, the seller must take each tenant's security deposit and the interest it has earned out of the escrow account and deliver them to the buyer. Landlords must pay tenants interest each year at no less than the rate set by the Banking Commissioner. The new owner is responsible for returning deposits when tenancies end, even if the previous owner did not hand them over. These deposit duties are in Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-21; the current deposit-rate information is on the Department of Banking rate page.
Give the buyer the leases, deposit and interest records, and escrow details so the handoff can account for each tenancy.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Both retired, house too big, property taxes $5,200 a year. The house on Belmont Avenue had been good to us but it was time. Our financial advisor suggested we downsize and put the equity to work. USA Home Buyers were straightforward — offer, agreement, closing. Done in nine days. We moved to a condo in West Springfield.”
“My uncle left me a three-family on Oak Street — built in 1922, hadn't been updated since the 1970s. I'm in Florida and couldn't manage it from down here. USA Home Buyers sent a written offer the next day and we closed in 10 days. I didn't have to fly up, didn't have to clean a thing.”
“I got behind after losing my job at MassMutual. The mortgage servicer was already sending notices. USA Home Buyers explained the Massachusetts foreclosure process — it moves fast here — and we closed before it got to auction. I walked away with money I didn't know I could keep.”
Questions about selling a Torrington rental
Can I sell my Torrington house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can discuss selling while tenants are still in the house. In an ordinary sale, the buyer becomes the new landlord and existing leases generally stay in effect; the sale by itself does not end a tenancy.
Do I have to evict the tenants before I call?
No. You can call and talk through the property and tenancy first. We buy houses with tenants in place; the lease and Connecticut's notice and eviction rules still govern any decision to end a tenancy.
Does selling the house cancel the lease?
No. A sale by itself does not cancel an existing lease. In an ordinary sale, the buyer becomes the new landlord, and ending a tenancy still depends on the lease and Connecticut notice and eviction rules.
What happens to the security deposit and interest when the house sells?
At transfer, the seller must take the tenant deposits and interest they have earned out of escrow and deliver them to the buyer. The new owner is responsible for returning deposits when tenancies end, even if the prior owner did not hand the money over.
Can a new owner end every tenancy just because ownership changed?
No. Some tenants, including tenants who are 62 or older or have a disability in buildings with five or more units, can be evicted only for good cause. A change of ownership does not count as good cause.
When will I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
