Richmond, VA asked in Landlord - Tenant for Virginia

Q: Tenant, S8 claiming (mold) infestation despite passed inspections before moving in and immediately after complaint.

Virginia single family residential lease agreement.

Verbally and crying while on 3-way via the city person, tenant said, "I don't care about the money!... at this point, just want to find a place to live." Tenant to date does not provide any signed written letter/notice per contract, as requested several times verbally and via emails. Tenant said she has Renter's Policy of Insurance as required but never provide me a copy as stated on lease or upon request. Her lawyer said that even tenant said that she's forfeiting any monies, that's no and illegal for me to ask, etc...

Comes to find out, gas meter locked and service never turned on as required per housing contract and lease agreement. Other default like not providing landlord a copy of Renter's Policy of Insurance, maintain dwelling like removing trash, use reasonable efforts to prevent accumulation of moisture and the growth of mold, etc.

Emailed tenant's lawyer and asked what's the move out date. Tenant lawyer will get back
