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.

The title company reviews ownership and the documents needed for closing. Bring the lease, rent and deposit records, access details, written notices, and any questions about occupancy so the proposed handoff can be discussed with the closing professionals.
Read the offer and closing documents before you commit. The title company handles the closing; questions about the lease, deposit, and possession should be addressed as part of the transaction.
Rocky Mount crosses Edgecombe and Nash counties. City limits and county limits are not interchangeable, and a Rocky Mount mailing name alone does not tell you which county office maintains a record. Confirm the property's county through the relevant official record or office, then check which office has jurisdiction for your question.

These rules help you understand the lease and tenant handoff. A sale does not by itself cancel a lease, and the buyer generally takes over as landlord. The actual lease, occupancy, notices, deposit records, and transaction documents determine what applies to a particular tenancy.
You can sell with a tenant in place; a sale alone does not end the lease. A lease for more than three years must be recorded with the Register of Deeds to bind a buyer. Keep the lease and any recording information with the sale documents.
Within 30 days after the sale, you must either transfer the tenant's deposit, minus lawful deductions, to the buyer and mail the tenant the buyer's name and address, or return the deposit, minus lawful deductions, to the tenant. Either step relieves you of further responsibility for that deposit. See the Act, including G.S. 42-54 on a transfer of the landlord's interest.
If the tenancy has no set end date, the notice depends on the rent period: month-to-month requires at least seven days before the end of the month; week-to-week requires two days before the end of the week; and year-to-year requires one month or more before the end of the year. A rented manufactured-home space requires 60 days' notice. Check the lease too; it may require more.
If a tenant will not leave, you can seek possession only through the court process. A sale does not itself remove the tenant or cancel the lease.

Yes. You can talk with us while tenants are still in the house. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease, and the buyer generally takes over as landlord; the lease, occupancy, access, and deposit details help shape the handoff.
No. 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 about the property and tenancy.
Within 30 days after the sale, you must either transfer the deposit, minus lawful deductions, to the buyer and mail the tenant the buyer’s name and address, or return the deposit, minus lawful deductions, to the tenant. Either step relieves you of further responsibility for that deposit.
North Carolina’s default notice depends on the rent period: at least seven days before the end of the month for month-to-month, two days before the end of the week for week-to-week, and one month or more before the end of the year for year-to-year. A rented manufactured-home space needs 60 days’ notice. Check the lease too; it may require more.
A tenant who will not leave can only be removed through the court process. A sale or notice by itself does not authorize you to remove the tenant.
Rocky Mount crosses Edgecombe and Nash counties, so the city or mailing name alone does not tell you which county office maintains the record. Confirm the property’s county through the relevant official record or office before choosing a county contact.
If available, have the address, every lease and renewal, rent and deposit records, occupancy and access details, written notices, repair information, and any timing you are considering. You can start with what you know; you do not need to make the house vacant first.
