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.
