Eviction Notices in Virginia
Virginia's eviction process is governed by the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. For nonpayment of rent, landlords must serve a 5-day pay or quit notice before filing an unlawful detainer action.
Virginia courts require compliance with statutory notice and filing procedures. Self-help evictions are prohibited, and a landlord must obtain a court judgment before removing a tenant.
