Selling a Rental Property With Tenants

How to sell an occupied rental property in Michigan — tenant rights, lease obligations, and how cash buyers handle the transition.

Rental Property Sales — Tenant Considerations

Selling a rental with tenants in place adds complexity, but it doesn't make a sale impossible. Under Michigan law, a sale does not automatically terminate a lease. The new owner assumes the landlord's obligations under existing lease agreements. Tenants must be given reasonable notice of property access for inspections or showings — typically 24 hours.

How It Works With a Cash Sale

We honor existing leases. Fixed-term leases remain valid. Month-to-month tenants receive proper notice of any changes per Michigan law.
No evictions required. You don't need to evict anyone or wait for leases to expire. We take over the landlord role seamlessly.
We handle tenant communication. After the sale closes, all tenant matters become our responsibility — including notices, renewals, and any necessary transitions.

For tenants who are behind on rent or problematic, we still buy the property — and we manage the tenant transition professionally so you don't have to deal with eviction proceedings.
