The Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (VRTLA), establishes the rights and obligations of tenants and rental investors in Virginia, and supersedes all leases and county ordinances. Furthermore our local governments in and around Baileys Crossroads have relevant ordinances regarding to the management of rental properties in their jurisdictions.
