Do I have to leave my personal property in a room that someone is renting
Hello Crystal, the answer to your question may vary depending on your location and the specifics of your lease agreement. Could you please provide your location and any relevant details about your lease?
I live in Montgomery County Virginia and there is no written agreement
Hi Crystal, without a written lease, you're likely considered a month-to-month tenant. In Virginia:
- You usually have to provide a *-day notice before moving out.
- Your landlord also has to provide a *-day notice before asking you to leave.
- Personal property can typically be removed at any time.
Please consult a local attorney for advice specific to your situation.
Right now I'm in the 30 day. She's received notice I'm waiting to evict but I would like to have my property out of the room she stayed in
Hi Crystal, as the landlord in Virginia, you may:
- Enter the premises to remove your belongings, provided you give reasonable notice.
- If renter denies access, consider legal assistance.
- Post eviction, if items are left you may dispose of them after * hours.
Please check local laws to confirm.
