Homeowner-to-Renter Firm Closes Suddenly
Originally Published 1 year ago — by NPR
EasyKnock, a real estate company known for its controversial sale-leaseback deals, has abruptly shut down, leaving many homeowners who sold their properties to the company in financial uncertainty. The company, which allowed homeowners to sell their homes and remain as renters, faces numerous lawsuits and investigations over claims of unfair practices. The closure raises questions about the viability of the sale-leaseback model, as many homeowners, like Randee Noggle, struggle to repurchase their homes under the terms of these agreements.
