4. When your name comes up, the management office verifies eligibility and offers a unit.

Your rights

The Virginia Fair Housing Law (Va. Code § 36-96 et seq.), effective July 1, 2020, prohibits source-of-income (source of funds) discrimination statewide, including Housing Choice Vouchers and other lawful assistance. Two exemptions: landlords who own four or fewer rental properties in Virginia are not covered, and the protection does not apply if the funding source is not approved within 15 days
