Summary

Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act; noncompliance with rental agreement.  Allows a landlord to set a date for an initial hearing on the landlord's action for immediate possession of the premises, not to exceed 30 days after notice is served on the tenant in cases where there is a breach of the tenant's obligations under the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act or the rental agreement that involves or constitutes a criminal or a willful act, which is not remediable and poses a threat to health or safety. Currently, the initial hearing must be set within 15 days after notice is served on the tenant.
