Landlord/Tenant Issues
Normally, landlord-tenant issues revolve around:
- Discrimination
- Housing code
- Repairs
- Late payment
- Property damage
These disputes can involve federal and state property and contract law.
The rights of a landlord are primarily protected through a Deed of Lease and protect him or her from such things as late payment, property damage, nuisance issues and other breaches of the lease agreement.
Rights of all tenants under Virginia’s Residential Landlord Tenant Act ensure the tenant’s rights to a livable apartment. A landlord-tenant lease and the law also protect the tenant from unlawful discrimination.
