A tenant buyout agreement, often called “cash for keys,” may provide a practical alternative when a rental housing provider needs to recover a unit. But a successful agreement requires more than offering money. The timing, approach, communication, proposed amount, and written terms can all influence whether the negotiation moves forward or falls apart.

During this discussion, tenant buyout attorney Sasha Struthers, Esq. will explain the psychology, strategy, and legal considerations behind tenant buyout agreements. She will discuss when a buyout may be appropriate, how to begin the conversation, what mistakes to avoid, and how the process works from the initial offer through the tenant’s move-out.
