Virginia Eviction Timeline & Landlord Posture
How Virginia courts handle non-payment evictions — material to DSCR loss-severity assumptions.
Virginia Code § 55.1-1245 allows a 5-day notice for non-payment. General District Court unlawful-detainer hearings are typically scheduled within 21 days of filing.
Virginia Rate Adjustment vs National Baseline
Sub-jumbo loan sizes in most markets and rapid eviction process keep loss severity below national average. NoVA jumbo prices track DC-metro curves.
Final pricing depends on FICO, LTV, DSCR, property type, and program. Baseline national DSCR refi rates start at 6.25% as of May 2026.
