Yes — you can sell a rental property with tenants in place in Massachusetts. The lease transfers to the new owner, no one has to move out, and you can be done being a landlord without an eviction or a single repair.
Late rent. The 11pm repair call. New regulations every year. Turnover that eats a month’s rent. At some point the rental stops being worth the headache. When you’re ready out, we buy tenant-occupied rental properties across Massachusetts — from Worcester and Springfield to Brockton, Fall River, and New Bedford — as-is, including single-families, condos, and multi-family triple-deckers.
No vacancy. No eviction. No make-ready. Keep collecting rent right up to closing — we take it from there.
Address, rent roll, and lease basics. Nothing to fix and nobody has to move.
An as-is offer on the building occupied — tenants and all. No obligation.
We take over the leases, the deposits, and the tenants. You’re done.
We honor the existing leases and step into your shoes as the new owner. We handle the tenant transition, the security-deposit transfer, and any inspection. You don’t evict anyone, chase a deposit, or schedule a single showing.
In Massachusetts a valid lease survives the sale — the buyer takes over as landlord and honors it, so your tenants keep their home and you avoid an eviction. Security deposits transfer to us at closing along with the interest owed, so that liability comes off your books. Month-to-month tenancies, behind-on-rent situations, even tenants who won’t let anyone in — we’ve bought through all of it.
Selling does not end a tenancy. In Massachusetts the tenant keeps the same lease, the same rent, and the same home — the buyer simply becomes the new landlord.
A valid written lease runs with the property, not with the owner. When the building changes hands the new owner inherits that lease exactly as written — same rent, same end date, same terms. Your tenants do not have to sign anything new, and neither do you.
Massachusetts security-deposit law (M.G.L. c. 186 § 15B) is among the strictest in the country. The deposit and any interest it has earned move to the buyer at closing, and the new owner becomes responsible for holding it correctly and returning it when the tenancy ends. Get that transfer documented in writing at the closing table — it is the detail landlords most often get wrong. Full breakdown here: what happens to the security deposit when you sell a rental in Massachusetts.
If there is no written lease and your tenant is a tenant at will, the tenancy does not end because the property sold. It carries over to the new owner. Ending it later takes written notice — generally one full rental period, and at least 30 days — not a phone call and not a closing date.
There is no such thing as evicting someone simply because the building is being sold. Removing a tenant is a separate legal process with its own notice requirements and, if contested, a court date. When we buy, none of that comes up — we keep the tenants and the leases exactly as they are.
Selling a rental often overlaps with something else going on. If you are also behind on the mortgage, read how to stop a foreclosure in Massachusetts. If the property came to you after a death in the family, start with selling an inherited house or selling a house in probate.
Got more than one? We buy portfolios. Send the whole list — one offer, one closing, one clean exit from the landlord business.
Every tenancy is different. We buy houses — we’re not attorneys, and nothing here is legal advice. We’ll always suggest you confirm lease and deposit details with your attorney.
Selling on the other side of the state line? Rhode Island runs on a different statute, and the differences are real — no deposit interest, a 60-day rent-increase notice, and a written notice to the tenant that releases you from liability. Here is what Rhode Island tenants are entitled to when the house is sold.

Yes. You can legally sell an occupied rental in Massachusetts, and we buy them as-is — tenants and all — including single-families, condos, and two- and three-family triple-deckers. It doesn’t matter if the rent is late, the lease is broken, or a tenant has stopped paying. You don’t have to evict anyone or get the rent current first.
No. A valid lease survives the sale, so we step in as the new landlord and honor it — your tenants stay put. Selling to us is actually the route that avoids an eviction: the tenants keep their home and you’re out of the landlord business.
It transfers with the property. The buyer takes over as landlord and is bound by the existing lease until it ends. A fixed-term lease continues to its end date, and a month-to-month tenancy carries over too. We honor whatever’s in place.
It transfers to us at closing, along with any interest owed, and the tenant’s deposit rights move with it. That deposit liability — and Massachusetts’ strict deposit rules — come off your plate for good.
All of the above. Month-to-month or fixed-term, we’ll work with it. And if a tenant won’t allow access, we can make an offer from the rent roll, the leases, and the exterior — we’re used to buying with limited access and won’t disturb your tenants.
In Massachusetts you’re expected to keep tenants informed and to give reasonable notice (usually 24 to 48 hours) before any showing. The good news with a direct cash sale: there are no public listings or parades of buyers, so the disruption to your tenants is minimal.
Yes. We buy occupied rentals with arrears in place. You do not have to chase the balance or start an eviction first — tell us what is owed and we account for it in the offer. Whether you keep or release your claim against the tenant for past-due rent is worth a quick word with your attorney before closing.
Voucher tenancies transfer like any other. The housing authority gets notified of the new owner and the new payment details, and there is usually an owner packet and an inspection at some point in the cycle. We have handled it before and we take care of that paperwork on our side.
Yes. A mix is normal and it does not complicate anything. We buy single-family houses, condos, multi-family homes including two-families and three-deckers, and vacant land across Massachusetts and Rhode Island — occupied, partly occupied, or empty.
