Virginia’s New Rent Laws and Eviction Realities | Charlottesville News

Virginia’s renters are getting a new lifeline thanks to sweeping eviction and security deposit reforms—extending grace periods to 15 days and tweaking deposit rules to help landlords enforce payments. Governor Abigail Spanberger says progress is being made, but the state’s eviction crisis still demands deeper solutions. Advocates are split: some call the laws too harsh, others see real wins—like one tenant who reclaimed their security deposit. Behind the scenes, financial pressures and legal advice gaps are fueling the problem. The goal? A system where no one loses their home unless absolutely necessary—and that fight’s far from over.
