What we do with a tenant-occupied house

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 houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

If helping the tenants move works better for everyone, we can talk about cash-for-keys as one possible part of the plan. Tell us what you want to happen with the tenancy; you do not have to sort it out before calling.

Local help for a Wooster rental

For the county records-office starting point, see the Wayne County Recorder’s Office. For lease and notice questions, the Ohio statute linked below is the relevant state source; the Recorder is not a tenant-rights office.

Ohio lease, notice, possession, and security-deposit rules

A sale does not by itself cancel a lease. The lease typically stays with the house, and when we buy a tenant-occupied house, we become the landlord. Tenants do not have to move just because the property is sold.

If you want to sell it empty

Ohio Revised Code §5321.17 requires written notice at least 30 days before the next rent due date to end a month-to-month tenancy, or 7 days for a week-to-week tenancy. Read Ohio Revised Code §5321.17.

Check the actual lease and tenancy before relying on a notice date. A sale alone does not make the house vacant; if vacant possession matters to your plan, discuss the timing before setting expectations for an empty-house handoff.

Security deposits at closing

Security deposits typically transfer to us at closing. Keep the lease and deposit records together so the amount and handoff can be addressed in the written terms.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.

“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
Barbara and Howard W.Canfield Road, Youngstown OHMarch 2026
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
Denise K.Brier Hill, Youngstown OHFebruary 2026
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
Ed and Clara B.Stambaugh-Thompson, Youngstown OHJanuary 2026
