Housing

Regardless of whether you own or rent the place where you live, you have rights. The Legal Aid Works^® Housing Guides are a great resource because they are updated yearly with accurate and helpful information about your rights as a tenant, as well as a list of all the affordable housing we know of in the communities served by our three offices.

Tenants’ Rights Drop In Sessions: talk in person, one-on-one with a Legal Aid Works^® attorney about your rights as a tenant in Virginia. Every first and third Tuesday of the month from 1 to 3 PM, or fifth Tuesday from 5 to 7 PM. Location: meeting room in the lower level of the Central Rappahannock Regional Library at 1201 Caroline Street in Fredericksburg, VA 22401. No appointment necessary.
