SELL HOUSE DURING
EVICTION
BUFFALO NY
You can sell your Buffalo rental at any point during the eviction process — before, during, or after court proceedings. NCB closes in 7 days regardless of where you are in Erie County Housing Court.
Many Buffalo landlords don’t realize they can sell their property at any stage of the eviction process. New York law does not prohibit a property sale while eviction proceedings are active — and in many cases, selling mid-eviction is faster, less expensive, and less stressful than completing the process.
A pending eviction proceeding in Erie County Housing Court does not create a lien on your property and does not prevent you from transferring title. You retain the full legal right to sell your property at any point during eviction proceedings. The sale does not automatically terminate the eviction case — it transfers to the new owner.
When a property sells mid-eviction, the new owner steps into the landlord’s position in the proceedings. Pending cases may need to be updated with the court to reflect new ownership. NCB’s team handles all post-closing case management. You are no longer a party to any proceedings from the moment title transfers at Erie County title.
Every additional month in the eviction process costs: continued mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, utilities, legal fees, and lost rental income. A 6-month eviction that costs $800/month in carrying costs plus $3,000 in legal fees adds $7,800 to your total cost of ownership. NCB’s as-is cash offer closes that financial drain in 7 days.
Selling before a money judgment is entered and docketed avoids potential title complications. Selling before the property deteriorates further preserves more equity. The earlier in the eviction timeline you sell, the cleaner and faster the closing process tends to be.

Can I sell my Buffalo rental property while the eviction case is still open?
Yes — a pending eviction case in Erie County Housing Court does not prevent you from selling. NCB purchases properties at any stage of the eviction process, from first notice through post-judgment warrant. The case transfers to NCB at closing. Call (716) 557-7005 for a cash offer within 24 hours.
What happens to my eviction case when I sell the property mid-proceeding?
The new owner steps into the landlord’s position in the proceedings. Pending cases may need to be updated with Erie County Housing Court to reflect new ownership. NCB handles all post-closing case management. From the moment title transfers, you are no longer a party to the proceedings.
Is it better to complete the eviction before selling or sell mid-eviction?
In most cases, selling mid-eviction is faster and less expensive than completing the process. Every month of additional eviction proceedings adds legal fees, court costs, and continued carrying costs. NCB’s 7-day close typically produces better net outcomes than waiting 3–9 more months to recover possession before listing.
Does a pending eviction show up as a lien on my Buffalo property?
A pending eviction petition does not automatically create a lien on your property. However, if a money judgment is obtained and docketed at Erie County Clerk’s Office, it becomes a judgment lien. Selling before a judgment is docketed avoids this complication. NCB works with Erie County title to identify and address any docketed judgments at closing.
