The VRLTA handbook, as published by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, contains additional information and a copy of the law.

Repairs: You are obligated to use the property in a 'tenant-like manner', which means that you will be responsible for any repairs that are your own fault, even if they would otherwise fall to be paid for by the landlord.

Before contacting the court to initiate eviction proceedings, the landlord should read the lease and be familiar with its provisions and comply with its terms regarding notice and termination. Once the terms of the lease have been followed, Georgia law requires a landlord to go through court to remove a tenant.
