The state-law section below links to the Kentucky statutes on a sale during a tenancy, local adoption of the landlord-tenant act, and security-deposit handling. Whether a local rule applies depends on the property’s jurisdiction.
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease. Kentucky’s rules also distinguish statewide sale-and-rent protections from deposit provisions that apply only where a local government adopted the state landlord-tenant act.
KRS 383.100 says a sale of rental units is valid without the tenant’s consent. The buyer takes over as landlord under the existing tenancy; the sale itself does not end the lease.
If a tenant pays rent to the former owner before receiving notice of the sale, the tenant is not liable to pay that rent again. Give each tenant written notice identifying the new owner and where rent should be paid.
KRS 383.500 limits Kentucky’s version of the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act to cities and counties that adopted it. Kentucky has no statewide rule for moving a security deposit when a house is sold.
Where the act applies, KRS 383.580 requires security deposits to be kept in a separate bank account. Check the property’s actual jurisdiction rather than assuming local adoption from a mailing address.
Under KRS 383.600, a landlord who sells in good faith is relieved of liability for events only after the tenant receives written notice of the sale. The statute’s notice rule is separate from whether a deposit is held in a compliant account where the local act applies.
For a clean closing record, account for deposits and prorated rent, arrange their transfer to the buyer at closing, and tell each tenant in writing who now holds the deposit. Keep the lease, deposit ledger, rent record, and tenant notices with the closing information.
Testimonials are real, from our transactions, verified and approved by our attorneys. The location shown with each review is the seller’s location.

A tenant who pays the former owner before receiving notice of the sale is not liable to pay that same rent again. Give each tenant written notice of the new owner and where rent should be paid.
Kentucky has no statewide rule for moving a deposit at a sale. A practical handoff is to account for the deposit and prorated rent at closing, arrange their transfer to the buyer, and tell each tenant in writing who holds the deposit. Separate-account and seller-liability rules apply in places that adopted Kentucky’s landlord-tenant act.
