This Isn’t What You Signed Up For
You bought this property hoping for steady rent and a stress-free investment.
But now? You’re dealing with late payments — or no payments at all. Your tenants are damaging the home, ignoring the lease, or maybe even doing things that could get you in trouble.
You're tired, frustrated, and wondering what your options are.
You’re not alone — and you don’t have to keep living like this.
Bad Tenants Can Wreck More Than Just Your Property
When tenants go bad, the damage is never just physical. The financial and emotional toll can be brutal.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place:
-
They haven’t paid rent in months
-
The property is being trashed
-
They’ve violated the lease
-
There’s illegal activity
It’s more than just stress — it’s a nightmare that won’t end on its own.

Evicting Isn’t Always an Option — Or a Solution
Eviction sounds like a solution — until you realize how long, expensive, and frustrating it really is in Michigan. Even with a solid case, the process can drag on for weeks or months… and that’s if everything goes smoothly.
Meanwhile, the damage gets worse, the rent keeps missing, and your anxiety builds.
And let’s be honest — some tenants don’t go quietly.
Retaliation is real.
So you wait. And worry. And lose more money every day.

“Mr. Fassett – thank you for working with us to buy my Mom’s home after she passed away. When you mentioned that you would give us an offer within 24 hours and then close quickly I didn’t really believe that we would have the house sold in only 2 weeks. I’m glad I found you.”

Michelle L. - Michigan

“Thanks for buying my Mother’s home. It was a big help that you were able to buy it without us having to clean it out and get it ready to sell. My mother had accumulated lots of stuff and after the stress of her long illness I was exhausted and I dreaded dealing with all of it. I also liked it that you gave me a very fair price for the home. I’m on a fixed income and that really helped a lot.”

Henry G. - Michigan

“Dennis – thank you for helping us with our Mom’s home. This was a very traumatic experience for us, and we appreciated your patience with all the emotions we experienced during the process. You were really patient and understanding with us during the sale process, and we’re sure that Mom’s home will be in good hands. God Bless.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Selling a House With Bad Tenants Michigan
Can I really sell a house with tenants still living in it?
Yes. In Michigan, you can legally sell a rental property even if it’s still occupied. We specialize in buying tenant-occupied homes — whether the tenants are paying rent or not. You do not need to evict them first.
Do I have to tell the tenants I’m selling?
No, you don’t have to notify tenants immediately, especially if they’re difficult. We’ll help guide you through what’s required legally, and we can often purchase the property without tenant cooperation. We handle communication after closing if needed.
What if my tenants have stopped paying rent?
That’s not a problem. We regularly buy properties with non-paying tenants, including those deep into default. We understand the stress it causes and will make a fair cash offer regardless of their payment history.
Will you still buy the house if the tenants damaged the property?
Yes — we buy houses in as-is condition, no matter the damage. That includes holes in walls, broken appliances, mold, trash, hoarding, and more. You don’t need to clean or fix anything.
Do I need to go through the eviction process first?
No. In fact, many sellers come to us specifically to avoid the eviction process. Whether it’s a formal lease, a month-to-month situation, or even squatters, we can work with it. You don’t have to do anything before selling.
How fast can you close?
We can often close in as little as 7–10 days, depending on your situation. If you need more time, that’s fine too — we’re flexible and work on your timeline.
What if I’m behind on taxes or facing foreclosure?
We can still help. We buy homes with tax issues, code violations, liens, or foreclosure notices. We’ll walk you through your options and make an offer that helps you avoid further damage to your finances or credit.
Is there a fee or commission?
Nope — we’re not real estate agents. There are no fees, no commissions, and no closing costs when you sell directly to us. What we offer is what you walk away with.
Do you buy homes anywhere in Southeast Michigan?
Yes. While we’re based in Southeast Michigan, we buy houses all across the area — including Detroit, Flint, Lansing, Saginaw, and smaller towns too.
What happens after I sell? Who deals with the tenants?
Once we buy the home, it’s 100% our responsibility. We take care of the tenants — whether that means communication, transition, or legal steps. You don’t have to deal with them again.
Is this process confidential?
Absolutely. We operate with full discretion and professionalism. No yard signs, no public listings, no showings — just a simple and private sale.
What if the tenant is family or a friend?
That’s more common than you think. We’ll work with you sensitively and respectfully to handle the situation in a way that doesn’t cause more tension. You don’t have to feel trapped by personal relationships.
What kind of offer will I get?
We make fair, honest offers based on:
-
The condition of the home
-
The rental situation
-
The local market
-
Our repair and holding costs
There’s no pressure, and you’re free to accept or decline.
