Sell Your House With TenantsBuffalo NY

Yes. NCB buys tenant-occupied properties in Buffalo without requiring vacant possession before closing. The tenants stay in place — the property transfers with them. We deal with the tenant relationship after closing.

NY tenant protections are strong but they don’t prevent a sale. You can sell a tenant-occupied property to a cash buyer without triggering special tenant notice requirements beyond what the lease specifies. The existing lease transfers to the new owner.

The existing lease transfers to NCB as the new owner. Tenants are legally protected under their existing lease terms. We assess the tenant situation during our walkthrough and price accordingly. What happens after closing is our responsibility, not yours.

Yes. Active non-payment situations, ongoing eviction proceedings, or problem tenants are situations NCB handles regularly across Erie County. The tenant situation factors into the offer — it affects the value, not our ability to purchase.

Ideally: a copy of the current lease, monthly rent, security deposit amount, any known arrears, and the lease expiration date. If no written lease exists, the tenancy terms and any verbal arrangements. We’ll work with what’s available.

It depends. A property with a paying tenant at a good rent has positive value — it produces income immediately. A property with a non-paying tenant in active eviction is a different calculation. NCB prices the actual tenant situation, not a blanket discount.

On MLS, most buyers want vacant possession — getting there often means the NY eviction process, which takes 6–12 months in Erie County. NCB buys without that requirement. For landlords who are done managing and want out cleanly, that difference is significant.
