What is the name of your state? Virginia
What are my rights as a tenant in the state of Virginia to terminate my lease early due to landlord not performing a repair within 30 days. I have emails and text messages for the following things I've reported to my landlord, he's made some repairs but not all of them. The below are examples of things he has not fixed:
- Ants in the bathroom (I sent him pictures and an email 3 months ago)
- The shower in the master bedroom is not getting hot water (only warm)
- Ceiling fan in master bedroom sparks and trips GFCI breaker in bathroom when you try to turn it on
- The deck on the back on the house is coming off of the house because the posts under it are sinking into the ground on one end
How would you recommend I proceed to terminate the lease early and leave without being liable to stay for the remainder of my lease? Can I write him a letter notifying him that he failed to correct the above deficiencies within 30 days and for that reason I am giving him 30 days notice of lease termination and move out? What Virginia law should I cite?
