Mount Hermon, VA · Tenant-occupied house
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
When you sell the house to us, you can leave the landlord role without first making it vacant. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Mount Hermon and Pittsylvania County, Virginia, including houses with tenants in place.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. Tell us what is happening with the lease, access, repairs, or timing.
What we do
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
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 helping the tenants move may work better for everyone, tell us what you have in mind. We can discuss the house and the tenancy together, including access, the lease, and the timing.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, limited access, needed repairs, unpaid rent, or a difficult conversation with a tenant getting in the way? Tell us what is happening and what you want to happen with the property.
Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
We talk through the Mount Hermon address, who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the house’s condition, and the timing you have in mind. Start with what you know.
2. You review the written offer and terms
We discuss the property as it stands and the tenancy. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the price and terms before deciding whether to commit.
If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
3. We account for the tenancy in the sale
The lease, who occupies the house, access, and security-deposit details matter to the transfer. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease; the Virginia rules below explain what happens to the tenancy and deposit.

Virginia tenant rights and security deposits
A sale does not by itself 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. Whether a tenancy can end still depends on the lease and Virginia’s notice rules. See the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act and Virginia’s rules for ending a tenancy.
The landlord must tell the tenant about the sale and provide the buyer’s name, address, and a phone number. When ownership transfers, the seller must pass the tenants’ security deposits, plus any interest earned, to the buyer. These sale and deposit-transfer duties are in Virginia Code §55.1-1606 and §55.1-1607.
If a property manager holds the deposits, the owner must ask for 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 the deposit was never passed along. See Virginia Code §55.1-1226. The leases and deposit records help account for each tenancy as ownership changes.

Mount Hermon tenant-occupied house questions
Can I sell my Mount Hermon house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses with tenants in place in Mount Hermon and Pittsylvania County. A sale does not by itself end the lease, so the tenant may remain under its terms after ownership changes.
Does selling the house cancel the lease or require the tenant to move?
No. The sale does not by itself cancel the 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.
What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?
At the transfer of ownership, the seller must pass the tenant’s security deposit and any interest earned to the buyer. If a property manager holds the deposit, the owner must request it in writing before closing; the manager must tell the tenant it went to the new owner. The new owner remains responsible for returning any deposit owed when the tenancy ends, even if it was not passed along.
What notice does a tenant get about the sale?
The landlord must tell the tenant about the sale and provide the buyer’s name, address, and a phone number. The lease and Virginia’s notice rules still matter if someone is seeking to end the tenancy.
Do I have to evict before I call?
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.
