Description
Tenants' assertion; rent escrow. Incorporates sections from the Virginia Residential Landlord Act into the Virginia Landlord Tenant Act to more clearly direct a tenant on procedure when the tenant asserts that adverse conditions exist on the leased premises: fire hazard, serious threat to the life, health or safety of occupants. Provides for rent to be placed in an escrow account before the judge determines the parties' responsibilities. This bill is recommended by the Virginia Housing Commission. Read the Bill »
