Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia
I am in a dispute with a tenant over damages to my property. She is saying they are taking this to court and have consulted a lawyer. She is asking me to send a copy of the lease. Do I have to do this? She had the lease when she signed it.

No, not until a case has been filed with the appropriate court and formal discovery initiated by the parties with this plaintiff making a request for a copy of the lease as part of that process.
