The moratorium on evictions in Virginia has been lifted by the supreme court. On June 29, 2020, the governor of Virginia announced the launch of the Rent and Mortgage Relief Program (RMRP). This program will give $50 million in federal funding to households facing eviction or foreclosure due to COVID-19.

Eviction cases will not be heard or processed in Virginia until June 28, 2020.

At this time, courts and sheriffs' offices in Virginia are not processing, serving or hearing eviction cases. This gives you some time to try and come to an agreement with your landlord or to make an arrangement for paying rent. The Virginia Poverty Law Center has some excellent resources for tenants on its website, as may a housing office in Glen Wilton or in your county seat.
