Hey,I am searching for commercial kitchen space for rent in Northern Virginia.  

I don't imagine any eviction notices would be published in the local press, mainly because of space and manpower issues (not to mention, most newspapers keep far away from landlord-tenant disputes).However, the info itself should be public information that is readily available, regardless of state, because it is a legal action and can be found in court records.

I know there's enough space to convert, but I'm interested in understanding the path better.I know I have to (not in order of importance):1) add an additional entrance for 2nd unit2) convert a bedroom into a kitchen plus3) get additional electric/gas service4) submeter water?
