What we do with a tenant-occupied house
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We buy houses in Bluefield and Mercer County, including rentals with tenants in place.
You don't need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone. Tell us about the property and tenancy.
If a tenant move-out arrangement may work better for everyone, we can discuss it as one option. You can also talk with us about selling with the tenant still in the house.

West Virginia lease, possession, and security-deposit rules
West Virginia law protects a tenant's lease rights when a rental property is sold. A sale by itself does not end the lease or require the tenant to move.
The lease continues with the property — W. Va. Code §37-6-1
A buyer of leased property steps into the landlord's position and can enforce the lease. The tenant keeps the same lease rights against the buyer that they had against the seller. The sale itself is not a move-out notice or a new possession date; the lease and any applicable notice process remain relevant.
Read W. Va. Code §37-6-2 on a tenant's rights against a new owner.
Security deposits after the sale — W. Va. Code §37-6A-2
Whoever is the landlord when the tenancy ends must return any deposit owed, even if the original landlord received it. The purchase contract and closing statement should account for each deposit.
When the tenancy ends, the deposit, minus allowed deductions, is due within 60 days or within 45 days after a new tenant moves in, whichever comes first. W. Va. Code §37-6A-1 defines the notice period used in the deposit law.

Bluefield tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Bluefield house while tenants still live there?
Yes. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease or require tenants to move. The buyer steps into the landlord’s position, and tenants keep their lease rights against the buyer.
Does selling the house set a tenant move-out date?
No. The sale itself does not end the lease or set a move-out date. The lease and any applicable notice and possession process remain separate from the sale.
Who must return the security deposit after a sale?
The person who is the landlord when the tenancy ends must return any deposit owed, even if an earlier landlord collected it. The purchase contract and closing statement should account for each deposit.
When is a West Virginia security deposit due back?
After the tenancy ends, the deposit, minus allowed deductions, is due within 60 days or within 45 days after a new tenant moves in, whichever comes first.
