Can you evict tenants on the Rental Relief Program if you sell?

[Brian Rodriguez]

I'm currently looking to buy a property in VA. The current landlord has a couple tenants that are on hold for the (Rental Relief Program) but haven't received funding and he believes they're trying to beat the system.. If he was to sell the property, would he be able to evict them with a 30-45 day notice?

@Brian Rodriguez,

Of course he can sell the property, but  I'm 99% you can't evict a tenant when they applied and are waiting on rent relief.    It's in the tenant/landlord agreement you both have to sign when you apply. 

I'd suggest the do a cash for keys if they want them out ASAP.
