Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia

Subpoena wittness

I'm suing my ex-landlord in small claims court for none refund of deposit, motel expenses, and electricity used while home was being repaired for frozen pipes. At the time we did have a verbal agreement, that she would cover these costs. She moved it to District court, and her lawyer moved for a continuance? She is now counter suing me for repairs to the pipes, and I can not afford a lawyer. I can prove my case, if I can subpoena her maintenance man. And when we go to court can I too ask for more time? If I haven't found him yet? Thank you so much for your advice in this matter.

You can ask, but you need to be able to show that you are trying to find him. You need to be able to pay for a search or have some plan to find him.
