Expert Advice When You Need It Most
EvictionI was wondering, we just got evicted and we have to be out by the end of the month. How does it work with paying the unpaid rent? Can they put my security deposit toward the unpaid rent? The only thing that we have in our name is my vehicle, can they take that? My vehicle is also worth more than what we owe to these people and it already is held by the bank since we are still paying on the loan. I did not know if they would take my vehicle or if they would some how garnish wages or something. We are in the state of Virginia. Attorney answers (1)
You might try reading your lease to see if it addresses your question. In general, many renter's questions can be answered by looking at the lease they signed. Of course, the only way to know your rights for sure is to speak with a local attorney.
