Frequently Asked Questions - Bad Tenants / Squatters in Massachusetts

Will BuyHousesInCash buy my Massachusetts rental with non-paying tenants?

Yes. We routinely buy Massachusetts, Massachusetts rentals with tenants who haven't paid in months. The Massachusetts eviction process can take 30-90 days or longer, costing you in lost rent and legal fees. Selling to us cuts that loss — you transfer the property and the tenant problem to us at closing. We absorb the eviction time, you walk with cash.

What if there are squatters in my Massachusetts property?

Squatter situations in Massachusetts, Massachusetts are some of the hardest to resolve as an owner. Massachusetts squatter laws vary, and removing them can take months in court. BuyHousesInCash buys properties with squatters in place — we have the resources, attorneys, and patience to handle the removal. Your offer reflects the squatter complication, but we will close.

Can I sell my Massachusetts rental if eviction is already filed?

Yes. We can close with an eviction in progress in Massachusetts. The lawsuit transfers to us as the new owner — your attorney can substitute BuyHousesInCash as plaintiff, or we file fresh. Either way, the eviction continues without interruption while you walk away from the entire situation. Many Massachusetts landlords prefer this to seeing the eviction through.

What about my tenants' security deposit and lease?

Massachusetts requires security deposits to transfer to the new owner at closing. We accept that transfer and assume the lease obligations. Massachusetts tenants with valid leases continue under the same terms post-sale — that's both Massachusetts law and federal law (PTFA). At lease expiration, we decide whether to renew, sell, or leave vacant.

The math depends on your time horizon. Evict-then-sell in Massachusetts averages 60-120 days plus $2,000-$5,000 in attorney/court costs plus continued lost rent. Sell-with-tenants is typically 7-14 days but reduces our offer by roughly the cost of completing the eviction ourselves. Most tired landlords come out similar net, with months less stress.

Will I need to disclose the tenant situation when selling to BuyHousesInCash?
