Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia
I have a lease with another individual, but they moved out months ago, changing their address and residence. They have failed to pay their share of the rent for at least 7 months, and recently came by to take pictures of the inside of the house, claiming they have the right to do so. In what ways could I contest and legally pursue this invasion of space?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Sue 'em for "invasion of space" you suggest? How
about suing them instead in small claims court for their share of the rent accumulated over the last seven months?
And, of course, being in material violation of their lease, you could also
simply bar them at the door as they certainly have no "right to do so", i.e., gain entrance.
