Local help for a Roanoke city property
Virginia leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
A sale by itself does not cancel a Virginia residential lease. The buyer steps into the landlord's place and can enforce the lease; the tenant keeps the lease's protections with the new owner. Whether a tenancy can end depends on the lease and Virginia's notice rules. See Va. Code §55.1-1201, §55.1-1253, and §55.1-1606.
The landlord must tell the tenant about the sale and provide the buyer's name, address, and a phone number. The lease and current occupancy still matter when you discuss the handoff.
When ownership transfers, the seller must give the buyer the tenants' security deposits and any interest earned. If a property manager holds the deposits, the owner must ask for them in writing before closing; 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 Va. Code §55.1-1607 and §55.1-1226.
Keep the leases and deposit records with the sale information so each tenancy can be accounted for at closing.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Questions about selling a Roanoke rental with tenants
Can I sell my Roanoke house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can start a sale conversation while tenants remain in the house. A sale does not cancel the lease; the buyer takes the landlord’s place, and the tenant keeps the lease’s protections.
Do I have to evict tenants before selling to USA Home Buyers?
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. Whether a tenancy can end depends on the lease and Virginia notice rules.
What happens to the security deposit when I sell?
At the ownership transfer, the seller hands the buyer the tenants’ security deposits and any earned interest. If a property manager holds the deposits, ask for them in writing before closing. The manager must tell each tenant the deposit went to the new owner, and the new owner must return any deposit owed when the tenancy ends—even if the deposit was not passed along.
What should I have ready before I call?
Nothing has to be perfect before you call. If available, have the lease, rent and deposit records, access details, and a note about the house’s condition and timing. Start with what you know.
Can we talk about access, repairs, or a tenant move-out?
Yes. Tell us how access works now, what repairs are difficult to schedule, or whether a move-out conversation is being considered. You can call while those details are still being worked out.
