Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

Our Virginia lease included the landlord to pay HOA fees. She did not over the first year of the lease, thus keeping us from using the pool facilities. Now she is caught up on payments. Can I consider her prior lateness as breaking the lease? Can I then rightfully walk away from the lease with no penalty?

counts, legally speaking, is what's occurring now with respect to the terms of this lease rather that in the past, and if the landlord is now in full compliance with those terms, it would be my opinion that you cannot now terminate prematurely without penalty.
