Client Alert: New For 2024 - The Answer to Two Important Questions Every Rental Property Owner in Virginia Needs to Know about Changes to the Virginia Residential Landlord Tenant Act (VRLTA)

The Virginia Residential Landlord Tenant Act, commonly referred to as the VRLTA, was initially enacted in 1974 and is a set of laws that govern the rental of certain residential property in the Commonwealth of Virginia. In addition to other obligations set forth therein, the VRLTA establishes the rights and responsibilities of both landlords and tenants in a residential lease agreement governed thereby. The VRLTA provides a clear legal framework for resolving disputes and to ensure fairness in those rental agreements. The VRLTA is amended from time to time, and it is important to understand those changes to ensure continued compliance.
