LANDLORD'S LIEN
The Virginia statutes give a landlord a right of lien. It exists independently of the right to hold property for payment of rent. When the landlord's lien for rent is obtained, it relates back to the very beginning of the tenancy and takes precedence over any lien that any other person has obtained or created against goods (personal property) on the leased premises since the tenancy began. A lien legally attaches to all property on the premises when it is asserted or on the premises within 30 days prior to attachment of lien. The landlord can seize the tenant's goods only to the extent necessary to satisfy the rent justly believed to be due.
