Virginia Landlords are required to provide prospective Tenants with a copy of the Virginia Statement of Tenant Rights & Responsibilities.




Virginia Residential Landlord & Tenant Act


The Virginia Residential Landlord & Tenant Act (VRLTA) outlines the rights and responsibilities of Landlords and Tenants and applies to most residential rental properties in the state.


The Virginia Statement of Tenant Rights & Responsibilities provides a summary of the VRLTA and is an important resource for Landlords and Tenants.


As of July 1, 2020, all Virginia Landlords are required to provide prospective Tenants with a copy of this Statement.


Note: A form at the end of the Statement acknowledges that the Landlord has provided the Tenant with the current copy of the Statement of Tenant Rights & Responsibilities. Both parties must sign this form when entering into a Lease Agreement.


Virginia Landlords should attach this document as an Addendum to their Virginia Lease Agreement.
