Sell your Weirton house with tenants still living there
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.

What we do
We talk through the house and the tenancy together: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, and what rent, repairs, or timing questions are involved.
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 a tenant move-out arrangement could work better for everyone, tell us about it so we can discuss it alongside the occupied-sale option.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, tenant access, repairs, or a move-out conversation getting in the way? Tell us what is happening. You do not have to resolve every tenancy question before talking about a sale.

What happens next
1. We discuss the house and tenancy
Tell us the Weirton address, who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the house condition, and any timing you are considering. Lease and deposit records can help us understand the handoff.
2. We put the offer in writing
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
3. A title company closes the sale
Before you commit, read the written offer and terms. The title-company closing can account for the lease, occupancy, and security-deposit information relevant to the transaction. The sale itself does not end the tenant's lease rights.

West Virginia lease, possession, and security-deposit rules
Selling the house does not by itself end the lease or require a tenant to move. A buyer of leased property steps into the landlord's position and can enforce the lease, and the tenant keeps the same lease rights against the buyer that they had against the seller. Any move-out or possession plan still needs to account for the lease and applicable notice and possession process; a sale alone is not a move-out date.
W. Va. Code §37-6-1 — rights on transfer
The lease carries through a transfer of the property. Selling does not, by itself, require the tenant to leave.
W. Va. Code §37-6-2 — tenant rights against a new owner
The tenant keeps the same lease rights against the buyer that applied against the prior landlord; the buyer can enforce the lease.
W. Va. Code §37-6A-2(e) — deposit responsibility
Whoever is the landlord when the tenancy ends must return any security deposit owed, even if the original landlord received it. The purchase contract and closing statement should account for each deposit.
W. Va. Code §37-6A-1 — deposit return timing
When a tenancy ends, the deposit, minus allowed deductions, is due within 60 days or within 45 days after a new tenant moves in, whichever comes first. Keep the lease, deposit record, and tenant notices available for the handoff.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
Weirton tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Weirton house while tenants are living there?
Yes. You can discuss selling while the tenants are still there. A sale by itself does not cancel the lease or require the tenant to move; the buyer takes the landlord’s position and the tenant keeps the same lease rights.
Do I have to evict the tenants 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. Tell us about the property and tenancy.
Who returns the security deposit after a sale?
The person who is the landlord when the tenancy ends must return any deposit owed, even if the original landlord received it. The purchase contract and closing statement should account for each deposit.
When is a West Virginia security deposit due back?
When the tenancy ends, the deposit, minus allowed deductions, is due within 60 days or within 45 days after a new tenant moves in, whichever comes first.
