How to Sell a House With Tenants in NYC

Selling a tenant-occupied property is harder on the open market — but you can sell it as-is, with tenants in place, and skip the eviction process entirely. Here's how it works for NYC landlords.

Selling a house with tenants in New York City comes with an extra layer of complexity — but it's far from impossible, and you don't have to wait for a lease to end or navigate a difficult move-out. Here's how it works.

The challenge with tenant-occupied sales

On the traditional market, tenant-occupied properties can be harder to sell: showings are disruptive, buyers who want to move in are deterred, and New York's tenant protections mean you can't simply ask tenants to leave. This narrows your buyer pool significantly.

The simpler path: sell to a cash buyer

We buy tenant-occupied properties directly, as-is — meaning you can sell the building with the tenants in place. You don't have to end anyone's lease, manage a move-out, or navigate the eviction process. We take the property as it is, tenants and all.

You don't have to move your tenants out

This is the biggest relief for most tired landlords: sell the property occupied. We handle the situation from there, in compliance with tenants' rights. No awkward conversations, no waiting for leases to expire.

Common situations we handle

  • Tired landlords ready to be done with tenants, repairs, and late rent.
  • Inherited rental properties you never wanted to manage.
  • Non-paying or difficult tenants you'd rather not deal with.
  • Rent-stabilized or rent-controlled units with their own complexities.

How it works

Tell us about the property and the tenancy situation — how many units, lease status, whether rent is current. We'll make a fair cash offer that accounts for the occupancy, and close on your timeline. You hand off the property and the tenant relationships, and move on.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sell my house if tenants won't leave?

Yes. We buy properties with tenants in place, so you don't need them to leave first. You sell the building occupied and we take it from there, respecting tenants' rights.

Do I have to evict my tenants before selling?

No — and often that's the whole appeal. Selling to us means you avoid the eviction process entirely. We purchase the property as-is, with the tenancy as it stands.

What if my tenants aren't paying rent?

That's a common reason landlords sell to us. Let us know the situation and we'll factor it into our offer. You get to walk away from the problem.

Does rent stabilization affect the sale?

Rent-stabilized and rent-controlled units have specific rules, and we're experienced with them. Just tell us the details of the tenancy and we'll account for it.
