Selling a tenant-occupied property

You do not have to empty a building to sell it. In New York, existing leases generally stay in effect after a sale, and the new owner steps into your shoes. We buy single-family rentals, two- and three-family homes and small multifamilies with tenants in place, including tenants behind on rent.

The rules have changed for landlords

The 2019 Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act changed a lot for New York landlords: security deposits are generally capped at one month's rent, late fees are limited, and evictions must go through local courts (City Court in places like Yonkers, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, White Plains, Peekskill, Newburgh, Middletown, Poughkeepsie, Beacon, Kingston and Hudson, or the town and village justice courts elsewhere). Some Westchester and Rockland municipalities have rent stabilization under the Emergency Tenant Protection Act, and several Hudson Valley cities have adopted local "good cause" eviction laws. Each of these can affect your plans, so check what applies to your building.

Why landlords sell to us

Many owners we talk to are dealing with a tenant who stopped paying, a unit that needs a full renovation after turnover, a building department violation, or simply years of late-night calls. Listing a tenant-occupied building is hard: showings depend on tenant cooperation and buyers' lenders want rent rolls, leases and estoppels. We buy as-is and handle the tenant transition after closing.

What to have ready

A rent roll, copies of leases if you have them, security deposit amounts (which transfer to the buyer at closing), and any open violations. Missing paperwork is fine; we will work through it.

Selling a property with rent arrears

If a tenant owes back rent, you can often keep the right to pursue it after closing, depending on what your attorney and ours agree in the contract. We'll price the offer with the current occupancy in mind.

Where we buy

We buy in Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess, Ulster, Sullivan, Greene, Columbia counties. See all areas.

Other situations

Frequently asked questions

Do my tenants have to move out before I sell?

No. We buy with tenants in place, and leases generally carry over to the new owner.

What happens to security deposits?

They are typically transferred to the buyer at closing, as New York law requires the deposits be held for tenants.

Can you buy if a tenant isn't paying?

Yes. We'll factor the situation into the offer; you don't need to finish an eviction first.

Do you buy multifamily buildings?

Yes, two- to four-family homes and small multifamilies.
