In Virginia, if a tenant violates the terms of a payment plan, the landlord may proceed with eviction. However, the landlord must provide a notice to quit before filing an eviction lawsuit. Please consult a local attorney for personalized advice.
whats a notice to quit
A "Notice to Quit" is a formal legal document a landlord sends to a tenant, essentially a written warning that the tenant needs to correct a violation (like late rent) or vacate the property within a certain time frame.
is it a court document
A "Notice to Quit" is not a court document. It's a letter from the landlord to the tenant. If the tenant doesn't comply, the landlord may then file an eviction lawsuit in court.
so can i call the landlord to do that
Yes, you can call your landlord to discuss your situation. However, please note that any agreement should ideally be in writing to protect your interests.
and since that had judgement before how long would all this take
The timeline for an eviction process varies. It can be a few weeks to a few months after the landlord files an eviction lawsuit, depending on the court's schedule and other factors. Please consult a local attorney for more precise timelines.
