FAQ
The most your landlord can charge as a late fee is 5% of your monthly rent. For example, if your monthly rent is $1,000, the landlord can charge you up to $50 as a late fee. If you receive a rent subsidy, you may not pay all of your rent yourself.
TERMINATING OR ENDING YOUR TENANCY If you have no written lease and you pay rent by the month, the tenancy can be terminated by either you or the landlord for any reason or no reason at all, by giving at least 30 days written notice before the next rental due date.
Late fees add up and missing a rent payment can significantly impact your credit score. By law, your rent is due on the date that's specified in your lease. There's usually a grace period of five days, so if you pay your bill just a few days late, you probably don't need to worry about it.
One of your important tenant's rights is to a habitable residence. This means that the home must be safe to live in, without dangerous conditions and with usable heat, utilities, and water. Your landlord is required to make any necessary repairs to keep your unit in reasonable condition while you live there.
As a renter in Virginia, you have legal protections under the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (VRLTA) that include the right to: A fair application fee. A fair security deposit. A decent and safe place to live.
Grace periods are quite common, usually varying between three and five days. Grace periods provide tenants extra time to pay rent before the landlord can legally charge a late fee.
Although landlords won't fine tenants during 'grace periods', the payment of the rent is still considered legally delinquent. Normally, rent should be paid on or before the established due date. This is a clause that is included in all lease agreements.
A landlord cannot evict a tenant without an adequately obtained eviction notice and sufficient time. A landlord cannot retaliate against a tenant for a complaint. A landlord cannot forego completing necessary repairs or force a tenant to do their own repairs.A landlord cannot remove a tenant's personal belongings.
