I was curious, so I checked the Portsmouth civil court records and your name does not show up as a plaintiff in any Unlawful Detainer cases (or any other cases for that matter). 

One minor exception to the comment: not advisable to lose Section 8 funding which could result both an immediate lose of further rents and/or a squatting/eviction scenario.Next:1) In terms of the late rent payment(s) - consider a 3-Day Notice to "Cure or Quit". 2) If step 1) ineffective, consider the lease type - in many states if month-to-month the lessor has the right to submit "30-Day Notice to Vacate" without cause. 3) If step 2) is ineffective, an Unlawful Detainer (aka Eviction) could be pursued.

If the tenant continues to occupy the rental in violation of a notice to leave, the landlord must then go to court to begin what is called an “unlawful detainer” action.

Quickly file the unlawful detainer if he/she does not cooperate.

@Colleen F. have already talked to lawyer, he said we can't get a court date until jan. 29th, lease ends the 31st. he said to immediately file unlawful detainer on feb 1st if she's not gone. and NO, all of that wasn't enough. 

If you contact me I can give you court documents and my attorney's information to verify that after THREE MONTHS of receiving zero rent, we had to forcefully evict (unlawful detainer) the tenant that Mario/Bridgehouse screened and moved in.

I have evicted multiple times in VA, most recently in Henrico - you really don't need a lawyer.Read this: https://ipropertymanagement.com/laws/virginia-eviction-proce...The clerk of court is usually helpful, they can't provide legal advice but they can answer questions about the forms.Also, sit in on some court hearings for evictions (unlawful detainer), they usually have specific days scheduled for these hearings - the courts are open to the public.

In Virginia I would submit a suit for unlawful detainer to get a judgement against both the parents and the child (essentially an eviction).

That moves you for paying to relocate them, to paying for the downpayment on their new house and car when they sue you and win.if your state permits, file your unlawful detainer, and then negotiate the cash for keys where upon leaving you will dismiss the suit.
