Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia
Apartment under construction
I received a new lease today and currently have less than a week to decide whether to renew it. The new lease has a construction clause allowing people to enter the apartment and rebuild some of the walls if needed. The new lease states that the new rate reflects compensation for any disruptions. These rates however were same as the previous year, and they are not any less than the going rental rates in my complex. If I decide to move out, I will be forced to go month to month for 60 days at a rate that is significantly higher. I am very upset about the position I now am forced into and would like to know my rights. Thank you.

Re: Apartment under construction
Your "rights" are either to accept or reject your proposed new lease.
