No, a landlord cannot evict you immediately in Virginia. A court process is required before a tenant can be removed.
For nonpayment of rent, landlords must give at least 5 days’ written notice to pay or vacate. For lease violations or ending a tenancy, notice periods can vary depending on the lease terms. If you are a tenant-at-sufferance, the landlord may not be required to give prior written notice, but a court order is still required to remove you.
