DETAILS
Martin Wegbreit, with the Central Virginia Legal Aid Society, says the records should provide a better idea of why the eviction cases were brought to court in the first place. “There are certain check boxes and blanks that have to be filled out, and that’s the only way you know a landlord’s reason for an eviction.”
