Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia

What is the process in Virginia to evict/remove an adult child (27 yrs old) from the home if they refuse to leave upon request? We do not have a signed lease, and there has been no rent required. When she moved back home in October the verbal agreement was that it would be a few months until she could save up for her own place, but no effort has been made to do that and its time that she leave. Thanks.

The legal process for the scenario you've described to evict or remove this adult

child from your home is very likely the same as would be required of any other

landlord with respect to an intransigent tenant which means that you'll need to visit

the clerk's office of your local general district court (civil division) to begin filing

the paperwork for what the law refers to as an Unlawful Detainer action to evict

this person from your home.
