What can i do to stay in my apartment?

2011-03-31 2:50 am
the beginning of this month ( March) i received a formal complaint from my landlord taped to my door stating that i was in breach of my lease and that i had till the end of March to make a response and remedy the situation or i would be evicted. first of all the complaint was for excessive noise ( t.v., and music), my guests running up and down the stairs, and someones vehicle was damaged by me apparently. i have since responded to the notice with a letter to the landlord the following day stating that other than the noise complaint that the other complaints i could not understand where they were coming from. i do not know exactly who is making these complaints as i have three direct neighbors. i have lived here three years and have only recently in the last year been getting these "noise" complaints. i have not been anymore noisy than i ever have been since i moved in. after my first noise complaint i no longer played any music at all. now after this formal complaint i don't even have people over, in fear of getting another complaint. none of my neighbors ever say anything to me about any complaints and the cops have never been called for disturbing the peace, it seems they just run to the landlord and tell on me like im in fifth grade. as far as the running up and down the stairs, and the damage to someones vehicle complaints, i feel that these are complete and utter bullshit and that is one of my neighbor's falsehoods to warrant my landlord to take action against me for their own reasons. there would be no reason to act this way as i do not associate with any of my neighbors at all and never complain on them either. i guess my question is, In Virginia, by law, can i be evicted for this even if they have no other proof than that of my neighbors? I forgot to mention that the landlord is only on the property from 9 am til 2pm Monday through Friday, so i know that they have not heard noise from my apartment personally. Any information will help. Thanks!

If your landlord attempts to evict you over this, the burden of proof is on him to prove your lease violation. If he can't do this, you can't be evicted. I wouldn't worry about it; if you happen to notice any excessive noise yourself, though, I would suggest you make a complaint to prove it is not you.

If the landlord proceeds with the eviction process, he will have to present undeniable proof that you violated the lease. If he cannot do so, he will not win & you will not be evicted.
