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 Lewisburg and Greenbrier County, including houses with tenants in place.
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 move-out arrangement would work better for everyone, we can talk about whether cash-for-keys fits the situation. We do not assume the tenants will leave as part of a sale.
Bring us the tenancy problem
Lease timing, access, tenant communication, or repairs making the sale hard to plan? Tell us what is happening. You do not have to settle every tenancy question or finish repairs before starting the conversation.
Call 888-274-5006 and tell us about the Lewisburg house and tenancy.
What happens next
We discuss the lease, who lives in the house, access, condition, and the timing you are considering.
1. Talk through the lease and house
Tell us what is happening with occupancy, access, repairs, and the property. We can discuss a sale with the tenants still there or a possible move-out arrangement.
2. Review the written offer and terms
We put the offer and sale terms in writing for you to consider before you commit. You decide whether to sign and move ahead.
3. Close through a title company
If you choose to sell, the closing is completed through a title company. The lease, occupancy, and security-deposit amounts are part of the sale handoff and closing paperwork.

West Virginia lease, notice, possession, and security-deposit rules
A sale by itself does not cancel the lease or require the tenant to move. West Virginia law puts a buyer of leased property in the landlord's position, and the tenant keeps the same lease rights against the buyer that applied against the seller. The sale alone does not set a new move-out date.
Security deposits at the sale and when a tenancy ends
Whoever is the landlord when the tenancy ends must return any deposit owed to the tenant, 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.
Read the official West Virginia Code: sections 37-6-1 on rights when property is transferred, 37-6-2 on a tenant's rights against a buyer, 37-6A-1 on security-deposit notice periods, and 37-6A-2 on deposit return and the successor landlord.
