Disputes between landlords and tenants can escalate quickly—especially when someone’s home, income, or investment is on the line. At Norton Pelt, we represent both landlords and tenants in Virginia landlord–tenant matters, including eviction proceedings, formally known in Virginia as Unlawful Detainers.
Whether you’re seeking to regain possession of a property or defending your right to stay in one, we help you navigate the process with clarity, professionalism, and a plan.
How We Help
Evictions (Unlawful Detainers)
When rent goes unpaid or lease terms are violated, landlords have a legal right to pursue eviction—but it must be done lawfully and efficiently. We represent landlords through each step of the Unlawful Detainer process to ensure compliance with Virginia law and help avoid costly mistakes.
For tenants, we defend against improper or unlawful evictions, helping you assert your rights and remain in your home when the law supports your position.
Living Conditions & Habitability
Tenants have the right to safe, habitable living conditions. If landlords fail to make repairs or maintain the property as required by law, we help tenants pursue corrective action. For landlords, we offer proactive legal guidance to address these concerns early—avoiding unnecessary exposure to claims or court proceedings.
