I one time offered a modest buy out to a tenant of an illegal unit ($5,000) and found out that they were planning to leave once they had saved up $800 for the security deposit for a new unit - they would have left on their own or perhaps for a much more modest amount!

(This is what I use in California) The concept is to keep the fact that the property has been transferred private.The sales transaction remains unrecorded i.e. the deed is not recorded or the contract of sale or the financing agreement.The transaction is maintained in the records of a settlement /escrow management companyEnough documentation is recorded to protect the seller and buyer in the chain of title without making the fact that the property was transferred public record Existing loans, taxes, insurance are paid by the buyer into a collection account, which in turn pays all the accounts required to service the propertyRecording a deed or contract is not required in most states to make a valid transferNot disclosing the new sale to the underlying lender is not illegal in most statesKeeping the transfer from the lender is not a crime or against the law.
