You might consider filing suit in small claims court (General District Court). You can get a Warrant in Debt form on the court website or from the clerk of the court. Good luck.

There is a self storage unit law in Virginia. If the nature of your agreement fits within this Act you may have the right to a lien on the items in the unit, and possibly the right to sell the items within.
