Three common situations
Good tenant, done landlord
The easiest case. The lease and deposit transfer to the buyer and the tenant stays put.
Tenant behind on rent
You can sell before, during or instead of an eviction. Tell the buyer what is owed.
Holdover or no lease
A tenant with no lease or whose lease ended still has rights. Talk to an attorney before acting.
Utah notice basics
Utah's unlawful detainer law covers when a tenant must leave. In general terms, a three business day notice is used for unpaid rent (pay or leave), and a month-to-month tenancy is ended with notice served at least 15 calendar days before the end of the period. Other notices apply to lease violations and nuisance. Do not change locks or shut off utilities yourself; eviction must go through court. A landlord-tenant attorney can make sure your notices are correct.
What to have ready
- The current lease or rental agreement (or a note that there is none)
- Rent roll or payment history
- Security deposit amount
- Any notices already served
Laws change. This is general information, not legal advice. Talk to a Utah attorney about your situation.
How it works
Tell us about the house
Fill out the short form. We will ask a few questions about the property, your timeline and what you need.
Get a written cash offer
We walk the house, run the numbers, explain them, and give you a written offer. No fee and no obligation.
Close when you are ready
Pick the closing date. A licensed title company handles the closing, and you can leave behind anything you do not want.

Common questions
Will you buy a house during an eviction?
Often, yes. We will want to know where the case stands so the title company and we can plan for it.
Do I need to tell my tenants I am selling?
Check your lease and talk to an attorney. You will usually need to arrange access for a walkthrough with proper notice.
Can you see the inside if the tenant will not cooperate?
Sometimes we can make an offer from the outside and adjust after a later walkthrough. Every case is different.
