Description

Practice the eviction process in a live simulation. Build stronger case files, present evidence, and avoid pitfalls—while staying compliant with VRLTA. Step into a simulated courtroom to experience the unlawful detainer process from notice to judgment. Learn how to build a compliant case file, present evidence, and avoid common pitfalls—while protecting tenant rights and adhering to VRLTA and local procedures. Map the Virginia unlawful detainer workflow (notice, filing, service, hearing, judgment). Prepare airtight documentation: lease, ledgers, notices, photos, and affidavits. Testify effectively and handle objections, continuances, and defaults. Keep Fair Housing and due‑process front and center throughout.
