No, a landlord cannot evict you immediately in West 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, landlords may not always be required to give prior written notice before filing an eviction action, but they must still obtain a court order to legally remove the tenant.
