Tenant Threatening Police For Showing - COVID-19 / Coronavirus
Hey BP Family,
I have arguebly the WORST and most disgusting on-time paying tenant but here's the situation:
I rent 3 rooms in a townhouse in Virginia to 3 different parties, essentially a shared living situation.
One tenant is moving out the end of the month as a result of his roommate across the hall and his disgusting habits (that's another story).
The disgusting tenant's lease is actually over the end of the month and a notice of non-renewal was given to him over 3 months ago. However, this tenant is refusing to leave per the Virginia governor's stay at home order but to complicate things, he threatened to call police if I showed up on my rental property and did any showings of any room at the townhouse and claims he called the local police department and they said I would be cited/possibly arrested for violating a stay at home order.
Does any of what he claims even sound right?
Can I legally be denied entry into my rental property period to show a room in which the current tenant moving out end of the month had no issue and with proper notice but another tenant doesn't want me to go in the house?
What if I decided that I was going to take over/start living in the soon to be vacant room? Would I still need to give proper/any notice to enter my house/living quarters or at that point, the disgusting tenant would have no say in me entering the house period?
Thanks in advance for any input.
