Virginia

2026

This bill gives renters more time to avoid eviction for unpaid rent. Landlords must now wait 14 days (up from 5) after giving written notice before ending a lease for nonpayment. The 14-day wait also applies to bounced checks or rejected electronic payments. Other rules stay the same: landlords can act fast for dangerous or criminal behavior, domestic violence protections remain, and public housing must share help info. Landlords can still recover rent, fees, and damages.
