What we do
We talk through the house and the tenancy: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, what repairs are needed, and what timing you are considering.
You don't always 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.
If keeping the tenants in place or discussing a move-out arrangement may work better for everyone, tell us which option you want to talk through.

Local help for a Harrisonburg rental
Harrisonburg is a city and a county-equivalent jurisdiction. These official local links can help you find city government information or the identified court and records office for this market.
Clerk of Circuit Court
This is the identified local court and records office for the Harrisonburg city market, through a shared service with Rockingham County. Use its official page for office information; it does not decide lease terms or deposit questions.
Virginia leases, tenant notice, possession, and security deposits
A sale does not cancel the lease. The buyer steps into the landlord's place: the buyer can enforce the lease, and the tenant keeps the lease's protections against the buyer. Ending a tenancy still depends on the lease and Virginia's notice rules.
Tell tenants who the new owner is
The landlord must tell the tenant about the sale and give the buyer's name, address, and a phone number. The sale itself does not change the lease's protections.
Account for each security deposit
When ownership transfers, the seller must hand the buyer the tenants' security deposits and any interest earned on them. If a property manager holds the deposits, the owner must ask for them in writing before closing, and the manager must tell each tenant the deposit went to the new owner.
The new owner must return any deposit owed when the tenancy ends, even if the deposit was never passed along. Give the buyer the leases and deposit records so the sale can account for each tenancy.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Harrisonburg tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Harrisonburg house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can discuss selling while tenants are still in the house. A sale does not cancel the lease, so the buyer steps into the landlord’s place and the tenant keeps the lease’s protections.
Does the tenant have to move when the property is sold?
A sale by itself does not end the lease or set a move-out date. Ending a tenancy still depends on the lease and Virginia’s notice rules.
What happens to the security deposit?
At the ownership transfer, the seller must give the buyer the tenants’ security deposits and any interest earned. If a property manager holds the deposits, the owner must request them in writing before closing, and the manager must tell each tenant that the deposit went to the new owner. The new owner must return any deposit owed when the tenancy ends, even if it was not passed along.
Do I have to evict before I talk with you?
You don't always 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.
What should I have ready for the conversation?
If available, have the lease, occupancy and access details, rent and deposit records, any written notices, the house condition, and the timing you are considering. Start with what you know; you can talk with us before every detail is settled.
