Landlord Rescue Program

At PMI James River, we understand that being a landlord comes with unique challenges, including the occasional need to address tenant lease violations. Whether due to non-payment of rent, property damage, or other breaches, navigating the eviction process in Virginia can be legally complex and emotionally taxing. Left unchecked, these issues can disrupt your rental income and put your property’s value at risk.

That’s why we’ve developed our Landlord Rescue Program—a comprehensive service designed to guide landlords through the eviction process, minimize losses, and restore financial stability to their rental investments. Our team that includes experienced eviction attorneys is here to manage the entire process, allowing you to focus on maximizing your property’s long-term success.

What Is Our Landlord Rescue Program?

The Landlord Rescue Program is a full-service solution for landlords facing difficult tenant situations. From legal compliance to property turnover and rent recovery, our program is tailored to make the eviction process as seamless and stress-free as possible while protecting your financial interests.

Virginia’s eviction process has specific and evolving legal requirements. Failure to comply can lead to delays or costly penalties. With our program, landlords receive expert guidance and hands-on support to ensure every step is handled correctly and efficiently.

How PMI James River Can Help You

Our Landlord Rescue Program is built on five key services that help landlords regain control of their properties:

1. Legal Support & Guidance : Eviction laws in Virginia are precise and require strict adherence to timelines and legal procedures. Our team collaborates with experienced landlord-tenant attorneys to ensure all paperwork, notices, and filings comply with state and local regulations. We’ll keep you informed of your rights and responsibilities while minimizing risks of procedural errors.
2. Eviction Filing & Court Representation : If eviction becomes unavoidable, we’ll manage the entire process, including:
   • Issuing the appropriate legal notices
   • Filing the Unlawful Detainer lawsuit in court.
   • Representing your interests during court proceedings to ensure an expedited resolution.
   Our expertise ensures the process moves forward without delays, helping you reclaim your property faster.
3. Property Repossession & Turnover : Once an eviction order is granted, we coordinate with local law enforcement to regain possession of your property. After the tenant has vacated, our team assesses the unit for damages, coordinates necessary repairs, and prepares it for new tenants quickly, reducing vacancy times and restoring your rental income stream.
4. Rent Recovery Strategies Unpaid rent is a common consequence of eviction. While recovering lost income can be challenging, we assist landlords by:
   • Exploring legal options for debt recovery.
   • Setting up systems to mitigate future risks, such as best-in-class tenant screening and offering automatic rent collection from tenants.
   By focusing on cash flow optimization, we help ensure your property remains a strong financial asset.
5. Rapid Marketing and Tenant Placement : Vacancies can drain a property’s profitability. Once your property is ready, our team uses advanced marketing strategies to attract quality tenants quickly. By leveraging our network and online platforms, we minimize downtime and restore steady income for your property.
6. Obtain Landlord Protection : To help landlords protect their investments long-term, we assist property owners in signing up for comprehensive landlord insurance through our master landlord policy managed through a licensed third-party insurance provider. This option, which is entirely optional, includes coverage for eviction-related legal costs and damages caused by tenants, ensuring you’re prepared for any future challenges. If eviction ever becomes necessary again, you’ll have an added layer of financial security.
