Norfolk, Virginia · Tenant-occupied house
After you sell to USA Home Buyers
Yes. We can discuss buying your Norfolk house with the tenants still living there. Start with the house and the tenancy as they are.
Norfolk is an independent city in Virginia; no county applies to this market. Call 888-274-5006 or use the form to tell us what is happening.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Share the address and what you know about the lease, occupancy, access, or repairs.
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.
Tell us if helping the tenant move is part of the conversation. Cash-for-keys is one option to discuss when that works better for everyone; the lease and the people involved matter to the plan.
A lease question, limited access, repairs, a notice, or a difficult tenant situation can all be part of the conversation. Tell us who lives in the house, what the lease says, and what is getting in the way. You can call before you have solved the tenancy or gathered every record.
Share the Norfolk address and what you know about the house, occupancy, lease, access, repairs, and timing. The lease and occupancy details help us discuss the sale with the actual situation in view.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the offer and written terms before you decide.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. The lease, occupancy, deposit records, and agreed possession details can be addressed as part of the written sale terms.
The Norfolk Real Estate Assessor describes its jurisdiction as real estate within Norfolk city limits. For a local property-assessment question, start with the City Assessor.
Yes, a Virginia house can be sold with tenants in it. The sale does not cancel the lease. The lease, notice rules, and deposit handoff still matter.
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. Selling by itself does not set a move-out date.
The landlord must tell the tenant about the sale and give the buyer's name, address, and a phone number. That sale information is separate from any notice needed to end a tenancy.
When ownership transfers, the seller must hand the tenants' security deposits, plus any interest earned on them, to the buyer. 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. Give the buyer the leases and deposit records so each tenancy can be accounted for in the sale.
