Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia
I currently live in Virginia. Is it true that as long as the envelope that my rent is mailed in is postmarked on or before the 5th it is considered on time?

No. Assuming a typical lease, rent is due by the first of the month, and is late if not received by the landlord by the first. It probably has to be received by the 5th to avoid late fees. If mailed on the 5th, it will certainly be late and a late fee will be owed.
