According to the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, as of January 1, 2021, if a tenant is late on one or more rent payments, the landlord must offer the tenant a written notice about the amount due and owed.

That notice must include specific information for the tenant, including the Virginia Rent and Mortgage Relief Program.

The tenant then has 14 days to pay the amount due and owed, enter into a payment plan or make another payment plan arrangement with your landlord.

There are a number of steps that can be taken if you have an eviction lawsuit filed against you, but the VDHC states:

“Your landlord cannot evict you without a court order, no matter what your lease says. Your landlord cannot cut off your utilities, including water and electricity. Electric, water, and gas utility companies are under a moratorium.”
