In Virginia, landlords can perform health and safety repairs, including asbestos removal, but generally need tenant cooperation. If you refuse access, they might seek a court order. Have you discussed your concerns with the landlord or requested proof of asbestos presence?

No because they fail to even acknowledge me as a person they just call me occupant.

Barbara, it sounds frustrating to be called "occupant" rather than your name. In Virginia, you can discuss your concerns with the landlord and request evidence of asbestos before granting access. Have you considered sending them a formal letter or email regarding this issue?
