SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act; barring invitees of a tenant. Provides that a guest or invitee of a tenant may be barred from the premises by a landlord upon written notice served personally upon the guest or invitee of the tenant for conduct on the landlord’s property where the premises are located which violates the terms and conditions of the rental agreement, local ordinance, or state or federal law. The notice shall describe the acts of the guest or invitee which are the basis for the landlord’s action. In addition to the remedies against the tenant authorized by the Act, a landlord may apply to the magistrate for a warrant for trespass, provided the guest or invitee has been personally served with notice by the landlord. The bill also allows a tenant to file a tenant’s assertion in accordance with §§ 55-248.27 and 55-248.30 requesting that the general district court review the landlord’s action to bar the guest or invitee. The bill defines the term “guest or invitee of a tenant.”
