🏠 Selling a House With Tenants in Virginia: What Landlords Need to Know
Tired of being a landlord?
Need to offload a rental property but you’ve still got tenants inside?
You’re not alone.
At The Cash Offer Company, we help landlords across Virginia sell rental properties with tenants in place—no delays, no eviction drama, and no agents needed.
Let’s walk through your options.
📄 Can You Sell a Rental Property With Tenants in Virginia?
Yes, you can sell your rental property even if it’s occupied—as long as you follow Virginia’s landlord-tenant laws.
Here’s how it breaks down:
- If tenants are month-to-month, you can give written notice (usually 30–60 days)
- If tenants have a fixed-term lease, the lease transfers to the new owner unless bought out
- You cannot force tenants out without proper legal notice
- Selling doesn’t terminate the lease—it just changes who owns the property
In other words, the lease travels with the property.
🔑 Your 3 Selling Options as a Landlord
1. Wait for the Lease to Expire
- Least confrontational
- Works best if you’re in no rush
- You may still need to give 30 days’ written notice
2. Offer Cash for Keys
- You pay tenants to move out early
- Can avoid legal conflict
- Many landlords offer $500–$2,000 depending on urgency
3. Sell the Property With Tenants in Place
- Fastest option
- We buy the home as-is, with the lease and tenants included
- Ideal if you want to be done ASAP
This is where The Cash Offer Company steps in.
