What we do
We talk through the house and tenancy together: 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.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

Share the address, who lives there, lease term, rent, access limits, repair needs, deposit records, and timing. Start with what you know.
2. We put the offer in writing
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the written offer and terms before you decide whether to move forward.

Local help for a Lynchburg property
Lynchburg is an independent city and county-equivalent. These City of Lynchburg links are starting points for local property and code information; they do not answer lease, notice, possession, or deposit questions.
Lynchburg published violation-case records
The City's public violation-case data can provide local code-record context. A map entry does not decide what an owner must do or whether a notice affects a particular sale.
Lynchburg Circuit Court Clerk
The City identifies this as its local Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court. Contact the Clerk for information about the office; the lease and Virginia rules below address tenant rights and the sale.
Virginia leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself cancel a 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.
Your tenant keeps the lease
The lease continues through a sale; the buyer takes the landlord's place under the tenancy. Read Virginia Code §55.1-1201 for the landlord-tenant relationship and §55.1-1606 for the sale notice.
Tenants receive the new owner’s contact details
The landlord must tell the tenant about the sale and provide the buyer's name, address, and phone number. See Virginia Code §55.1-1607.
Ending a tenancy depends on the lease and notice rules
A sale alone does not set a move-out date. If you are considering ending a tenancy, check the lease and the notice rule that applies. Virginia Code §55.1-1253 covers notice to terminate certain tenancies.
Security deposits transfer with the tenancy
When ownership transfers, the seller must hand 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 the deposit went to the new owner. See Virginia Code §55.1-1216 and §55.1-1226.
The new owner must return any deposit owed when the tenancy ends, even if the deposit was never passed along.

Does selling the house end the lease or require the tenants to move?
