Local Enforcement for Tenant Protections Under the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (HB14)

Latest Action:

Fiscal Impact Statement from Department of Planning and Budget (HB14)

Updated:

April 1, 2026

Chamber:

House

This bill aims to better protect renters by allowing local governments—like cities and counties—to take legal action against landlords who fail to keep rental properties safe and livable. If a serious problem exists—such as a fire hazard, health or safety threat, rodent infestation, or lack of heat, water, electricity, or sewage—the local government can step in after notifying the landlord. If the landlord doesn’t fix the issue in a reasonable time, the locality can go to court to require repairs and seek financial compensation for affected tenants. This bill strengthens enforcement of housing standards and provides more support for renters.
