Re: getting sued from former apartment
I’ll defer to VA lawyers on the law, but some basics missing from your post are the terms of the lease or other agreements, and specifically the notice requirements, as well as the specific claims made in the lawsuit. However, as you have been sued, the choices are generally to properly defend, risk a judgment, or contact the lawyer to settle.
