Tenant rights, rent, and security deposits
Kentucky lets you sell a rental while tenants are living there. The sale is valid without the tenant’s consent, and the buyer takes over as landlord. The lease does not end just because the house sells.
If a tenant pays rent to you before receiving notice of the sale, they do not have to pay that rent again. Tell tenants in writing who the new owner is and where to send rent.
Kentucky has no statewide rule for moving a security deposit when a rental sells. In a city or county that has adopted Kentucky’s landlord-tenant rules, the deposit must be kept in a separate bank account. A seller who sells in good faith is relieved of liability for later events only after the tenant receives written notice of the sale. At closing, work out the deposit and any prorated rent with the buyer, then tell the tenant in writing who holds the deposit.

Does selling the house end the lease or require the tenant’s consent?
No. Kentucky law says the sale is valid without the tenant’s consent, and the buyer takes over as landlord. The lease does not end just because the house is sold.
What if a tenant pays rent to me before hearing about the sale?
A tenant who pays the old owner before receiving notice of the sale does not have to pay that rent a second time. Tell tenants in writing who the new owner is and where to send rent.

Kentucky has no statewide rule for moving a deposit when a rental sells. Where local law has adopted Kentucky’s landlord-tenant rules, the deposit must stay in a separate bank account, and a good-faith seller is relieved of liability for later events only after the tenant receives written notice of the sale. At closing, work out the deposit and any prorated rent with the buyer, then tell the tenant in writing who holds the deposit.
