The rules just got harder for part-time landlords

As of July 1, 2026, Virginia changed the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. If your lease forms, notice templates, and payment systems aren’t updated, the exposure is yours — and it can flow to the owners who trusted you.

14 days, not 5

Nonpayment-of-rent notices now require 14 days before you can pursue eviction. An old-timeline notice can create a defect in your filing.

Mandatory payment methods

You must accept rent and deposits by check and money order, provide written receipts, and offer at least one fee-free payment option.

Fees capped

Payment processing fees are now capped at your actual third-party cost — not a number of your choosing.

More coming in 2027

Starting July 1, 2027, landlords must give 90 days’ written notice before raising rent. The burden keeps growing.

Three ways to exit — you choose

We structure every deal around what works for you and your owners. Most agents start with a straight cash buyout.
Most Popular

Cash Buyout

Get paid for the business you built, in a clean lump-sum acquisition of your management portfolio.

Transition Support

A structured handoff that keeps your owners covered and your name intact through the change.

Referral Relationship

Keep an ongoing, compensated referral connection while we take on the day-to-day management.

📋 The Listing-Back Guarantee

We are property managers — not a brokerage. We do not sell properties. When it's time to sell, the listing comes back to you. We put this in writing in every deal.

Common questions

I only manage a few doors. Is it worth it?

Yes. We acquire portfolios from 1 door to 100. Even a small book has value, and for many part-time landlords the bigger win is simply handing off the rising compliance risk.

What happens to my owner clients?

They’re our priority. We move them onto a compliant, full-time management team, and we can structure a transition or ongoing referral relationship so the relationship you built is protected.

Is the valuation really free and no-obligation?

Completely. You’ll get a confidential estimate with no commitment to sell. If it’s not the right move for you, there’s no pressure.

What happens when one of my properties eventually sells?

The listing comes back to you — in writing. We are property managers, not a brokerage. We do not sell properties. Every acquisition agreement we sign includes a written commitment that if and when any property sells, the listing is yours. This is not a handshake — it’s contractual.

How fast can this happen?

We typically respond within one business day of your request. Timelines for a full transition depend on the size of your book, but we move quickly.
