Virginia Landlord Bundle: 3 Kits in One Download (Virginia Landlord Kit, Virginia Small Claims Kit, Eviction Case File Organizer)

Who it is for

Landlords and property managers with rentals in Virginia: the state's rules, a small claims case for unpaid rent or damage, and an eviction case file if it comes to that.

Not the right fit if

Your rentals aren't in Virginia, or you only need one of the kits. Not a property management or legal service.

Why it is different

• 3 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
• The Virginia kits are built only from our Virginia data files: Virginia data files, checked November 2026 against 14 official pages, among them Code of Virginia (Legislative Information System): 55.1-1226, Security deposits; Virginia DHCD: Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act handbook (effective July 1, 2026); Code of Virginia: Title 55.1, Chapter 12, Article 5 (Landlord remedies); Code of Virginia 55.1-1204; Code of Virginia 55.1-1229 (Access; consent); Code of Virginia, Title 8.01, Chapter 3, Article 13 (Unlawful Entry and Detainer), plus National Coalition for a Civil Right to Counsel (a vetted secondary source, marked in the kit) where no official page could be read; Virginia small claims data file, checked November 2026 against Code of Virginia Title 16.1, Chapter 6, Article 5 (Small Claims Court); Virginia Judicial System: Small Claims Court Procedures (rev. 10/2024).
• Eviction Case File Organizer covers every state; the Virginia kits carry the state rules.

• Virginia Small Claims Court Kit. In Virginia, small claims (Small Claims Court (Division of General District Court)) cover claims up to $5,000. From the official page: Va. Service: A sheriff's deputy or a private process server delivers the civil warrant to the defendant, or to a family member 16 or older at the defendant's home, or posts it on the front door; a copy is also mailed first class at least ten days before the first court date. Lawyers can't represent a party at the hearing. Appeal: Appeals are as in other cases from the general district court (16.1-122.7). A defendant may remove the case to general district court any time before the judge's decision, and may use an attorney to do so (16.1-122.4). How to use the kit, the 7 confirmed Virginia facts at a glance, a short look-up list (filing fees, online filing) with the page to check, and a yes/no checklist: is the amount under $5,000, is it the right court, is there someone to serve and something to collect from. A claim calculator that adds up your items and compares the total with $5,000, a costs sheet, a deadline sheet in business days that skips weekends and federal holidays, and a collection tracker with the balance owed.
