Your rights

Virginia protects renters from source-of-income discrimination statewide under the Virginia Fair Housing Law (Va. Code § 36-96 et seq.), effective July 1, 2020 — a landlord generally cannot refuse you simply because you would pay with a Housing Choice Voucher. Landlords who own four or fewer rental properties in Virginia are exempt.

Neighborhood

Berkley is served by Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) buses with connections across the Elizabeth River to downtown Norfolk.
