Cash for keys is a practical solution many NJ landlords use when they need to sell a property but have tenants who won't voluntarily leave. Instead of going through the lengthy and expensive eviction process, you offer the tenant a cash payment in exchange for vacating the property by a specific date. In New Jersey, this approach can save you months of court proceedings and thousands in legal fees. The key is negotiating the right amount — typically one to three months' rent — and getting everything in writing. At Sargent Homes, we handle cash-for-keys negotiations as part of our purchase process. When we buy your rental property, we take on these conversations so you don't have to. Our experienced team knows how to reach fair agreements that work for everyone involved.
