Selling a house in Central Falls: common questions

Will you buy my Central Falls three-decker with the tenants still there?

Yes. Selling a Rhode Island building with up to four units doesn't end the leases, and the buyer takes on the seller's rights and responsibilities toward the tenants. I Buy Rhode Island Houses buys Central Falls three-deckers that way. Selling a house with tenants.

I live in one unit and rent the others. Do the lead rules apply to me?

Since January 1, 2024, they generally do. Rhode Island's old exemption for two- and three-unit houses where the owner lives in one unit has ended, so rental units built before 1978 generally need a lead certificate of conformance. You can still sell before they're certified, and I Buy Rhode Island Houses buys either way.

The estate is in the Central Falls probate court. Can we still sell?

Yes, once the executor has authority. The Central Falls Probate Court meets the fourth Monday of each month at 2 p.m. at City Hall, 580 Broad Street. The executor needs a power of sale in the will or a license from the court, and I Buy Rhode Island Houses can make an offer before then. Selling a house in probate.
