The rental agreement is deemed to have been terminated by the landlord at the time of abandonment by the tenant. If the landlord cannot determine if the premises have been abandoned by the tenant, the landlord must send the tenant a written notice in accordance with § 55.1-1202 asking the tenant to inform the landlord in writing within seven days that the tenant intends to use the premises. If the tenant gives such written notice to the landlord or if the landlord otherwise determines that the tenant remains in the occupation of the premises, the landlord will not treat the premises as abandoned.
