What we do when tenants are still there
We talk through the house as it stands: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, what repairs need attention, and what timing you have in mind.
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 a tenant move-out conversation may work better for everyone, we can discuss cash-for-keys. You can also talk with us about a sale with the tenants in place.
Bring us the tenancy problem
Is access hard to arrange, do repairs need attention, or is a conversation with the tenant getting in the way? Tell us what is happening with the property. You can call before you have a move-out plan or every detail sorted out.
Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
We talk about who lives there, what the lease says, the house’s condition, access, repairs, and the timing you have in mind. Start with what you know; you do not need to arrange a turnover first.
2. You review the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the offer and terms before you decide whether to move forward.
3. Closing is through a title company
If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company. The lease, tenant notice, and security-deposit handoff still matter when ownership changes.
Local help for a Hillsville property
Hillsville is Carroll County’s county seat, but the Town and County have separate land-use offices. The property’s actual location determines whether a Town or County office handles a zoning, permit, or code question.
Carroll County Building Official
The County provides building, permit, inspection, and code resources. Check whether the County office handles the address or work item before relying on a Town contact.
Virginia leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease. The buyer steps into the landlord’s place and the tenant keeps the lease’s protections. Ending a tenancy still depends on the lease and Virginia’s notice rules.
The lease continues through a sale
The buyer can enforce the lease, and the tenant keeps its protections against the buyer. Selling the house does not set a move-out date. See Virginia Code §55.1-1201 and §55.1-1253 for the landlord-tenant relationship and notice rules.
Tenants receive the new owner’s contact details
The landlord must tell tenants about the sale and provide the buyer’s name, address, and a phone number. Read Virginia Code §55.1-1606 and §55.1-1607.
Security deposits transfer with ownership
At transfer of ownership, the seller must hand the buyer the tenants’ security deposits and any interest earned. The buyer remains responsible for any deposit owed when the tenancy ends, even if the deposit was not passed along. See Virginia Code §55.1-1216.
A property manager has a separate deposit duty
If a manager holds the deposit, the owner must ask for it in writing before closing. The manager must tell each tenant that the deposit went to the new owner. See Virginia Code §55.1-1226.

Questions about selling a tenant-occupied house in Hillsville
Can I sell a Hillsville house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys tenant-occupied houses as-is in the Town of Hillsville and Carroll County, Virginia. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease, so you can discuss a sale while the tenants remain.
Does selling the house end the lease or require the tenants to move?
No. The buyer steps into the landlord’s place, and the tenant keeps the lease’s protections. Ending a tenancy still depends on the lease and Virginia’s notice rules; the sale alone does not set a move-out date.
What must tenants be told when the property is sold?
The landlord must tell each tenant about the sale and give the buyer’s name, address, and a phone number. That sale notice does not by itself end the tenancy.
What happens to the security deposit when ownership transfers?
At transfer, the seller must hand the buyer the tenants’ security deposits and any interest earned. If a property manager holds a deposit, the owner must request it in writing before closing, and the manager must tell each tenant it went to the new owner. The new owner remains responsible for any deposit owed when the tenancy ends, even if it was not passed along.
What if a property manager is holding the deposit?
The owner must ask the manager for the deposit in writing before closing. The manager must tell each tenant that the deposit went to the new owner, who remains responsible for any deposit owed when the tenancy ends.
What should I tell you about the lease, access, or repairs?
Tell us what you know about who lives there, the lease, access, repair needs, and your timing. We can talk through the house and tenancy together; you do not need to arrange a turnover before asking about a sale.
