Virginia Beach, VA seller help · Tenant-occupied house
Yes. You can sell a Virginia Beach house with tenants still living there. When ownership transfers, you leave the landlord role; the sale does not cancel the lease or make the tenants move. The buyer steps into the landlord’s place, and the tenants keep the lease’s protections.

Virginia Beach is a city locality, not a county. For a rental or property-maintenance question, use the City office that matches the address and the notice or service you need.
The City lists property and building maintenance inspections, a rental Certificate of Compliance inspection program, and unsafe-property services. Check with the City about whether a rental or code requirement applies to this address, or which office handles a notice you received.
Start here for the City's housing and neighborhood-preservation services and current contact information. Give the office the property address and ask about the rental, maintenance, or code question in front of you.
A sale does not 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. Keep the lease, occupancy details, notices, and deposit records together when you plan the handoff.
The landlord must tell the tenant about the sale and give the buyer's name, address, and a phone number. Ending a tenancy still depends on the lease and Virginia's notice rules; a sale alone is not a move-out date. If you want vacant possession, address that separately rather than assuming the tenant must leave when the deed transfers.

The sale itself does not end the tenancy or give you possession of an occupied house. Notice and possession are separate questions; check the lease and the Virginia rules that apply before planning a tenant's move-out or a date to recover the property.

At the time ownership transfers, the seller must hand over the tenants' security deposits and any interest earned 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 the deposit went to the new owner.
Virginia Code §55.1-1607 — transfer of security deposits · §55.1-1226
When the tenancy ends, the new owner must return any deposit owed, even if the money was never passed along by the seller or property manager. Give the buyer the leases and deposit records so the handoff accounts for each tenancy.

No. Selling the house does not by itself end the lease or set a move-out date. If you want vacant possession, the lease and Virginia notice rules still matter.
The seller must give the buyer the tenants’ security deposits and any interest earned. If a property manager holds the money, the owner must ask for it in writing before closing, and the manager must tell each tenant the deposit went to the new owner.
