Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Virginia
Judgement for broken lease
I was served a notification of motion for
judgement on 03/03/00. The judgement was for
breaking a lease at an apartment on 03/06/1994.
The lease began on 02/13/93 and ended on 08/31/93.
I did not sign another lease but lived there until
03/94. I gave the management a 60 day notice to
move, but was forced to move earlier because of
fear for my familie's safety. (five rounds were
fired outside my livingroom widow) I informed the
managemet of this and they did not care. Now six
years later they want to sue me. what can I do?

Re: Judgement for broken lease
The statute of limitations is probably 5 years, so it sounds like this action is time-barred, unless it was filed within 5 years of the expiration of the lease. You may have other defenses as well. You need to retain a lawyer to deal with this. Feel free to call or e-mail me if you have any questions.
