FOURTEEN-DAY NOTICE OF NONPAYMENT AND INTENT TO TERMINATE (Virginia | Fairfax County residential rent notice) Notice date / accounting as of: To tenant(s): Rental premises: County: Landlord / legal owner: Landlord address: Landlord telephone: UNPAID RENT TOTAL RENT DUE: NOTICE OF NONPAYMENT AND INTENT TO TERMINATE Your rent is unpaid. You must pay the total rent due shown above within fourteen (14) days after this written notice is served on you. If you do not pay that amount within the fourteen-day period, your landlord intends to terminate your rental agreement and seek possession through the court. Paying the total rent due within that period prevents termination for the nonpayment stated in this notice. The amount above includes no late fees, utilities, damages, legal costs or other charges; this rent-only notice is for a case where none of those amounts is owed. INFORMATION FOR THE TENANT If you believe a payment or credit is missing, contact the landlord at the telephone number above. Keep this notice and your payment records. This notice does not limit your rights to pay and stay under Virginia Code 55.1-1250. For rental assistance information, call 211 or visit 211virginia.org. For legal help, call 1-866-534-5243 or visit valegalaid.org/find-legal-help. This notice is not a court order and does not authorize changing locks, shutting off essential services or physically removing anyone. A court process is separate. Landlord / authorized agent:

  • The rent is overdue, any grace period has ended, and no late fees or other amounts are owed. The lease requires no extra time, delivery or other notice step.
  • This is a new notice for undisputed rent, with all payments credited and no partial payments, returned payments, prior notice, special protection, dispute or existing case.
  • Give a printed copy personally to every named tenant at the rental. The fourteen-day period runs from actual service, not PDF creation. Record delivery after it happens.

If any condition does not fit, use “Different situation / not sure” to review it before signing.

Virginia notice guide

For ordinary residential rentals in actual Fairfax County. Current Virginia Code 55.1-1245(F) gives fourteen days after written notice is served. The old five-day rule is not used. The supported notice dates are July 1–December 31, 2026.

Giving the notice

Print and personally hand a copy to every named tenant at the rental. Downloading or sharing a PDF does not serve the notice. Keep proof of actual service. This tool does not calculate an exact payment deadline or the earliest court-filing date.

When another process is needed

Use this branch only for new, undisputed overdue rent with no fees or other amounts owed. Housing assistance, covered loans, prior notices, partial or returned payments, payment plans, extra lease requirements, repairs or other disputes and special protections need separate review. Do not use it for manufactured-home lots, hotels, commercial rentals or ownership disputes.

Before a later court case

The tenant may have rights to pay and stay. Receiving payments can affect the case; this form does not include a reservation-of-rights notice. Before filing, review actual service, any later payment, the lease and current court requirements. Virginia Code 55.1-1204(H) also requires the tenant-rights statement before maintaining a lease-violation court action.

Questions about your notice and saved draft

Will correcting a field erase my signature?

Your drawn or typed signature stays available when you correct the form. Review the updated details and confirm again before downloading. A correction cancels the previous approval so the PDF reflects the notice you just reviewed.

Where are my form and signature saved?

When automatic saving is on, the draft stays in this browser profile on this device. It is not uploaded to FriendlyLandlord. Anyone using the same profile may be able to reopen it. Turn saving off on a shared device, and use Clear saved draft & form or Finish & clear draft when you are finished. Downloaded PDFs are kept.

Can I return to the form without internet?

First open the form online and wait for the message that it is ready to reopen offline. Check that your draft says it was saved. You can then keep working or reopen the same address without internet while the browser retains its saved data. Private browsing or clearing browser storage can remove it.

How do I check saving on my iPhone or Android?

Use Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android in a regular tab. Try these steps with fictional details:

  1. Enter a few fields and draw a test signature. Check for the saved-draft message and offline readiness.
  2. Rotate the phone both ways. Check that your fields and signature remain and do not stretch.
  3. Switch to another app for 30 seconds, then return. Check the same details again.
  4. Turn on airplane mode and turn Wi-Fi off. Change one field, wait for the saved message, then refresh.
  5. Close the tab and reopen this exact page while offline. Check that the latest change and signature return.
  6. Reconnect, finish the fictional form, review and confirm, then download. Check the PDF’s details, signature and date.
  7. Repeat with Type signature. Finally clear the test draft and refresh; the form should stay blank.

After reopening or correcting the form, an unchecked review confirmation is expected. Your signature should still be present.

Something did not save? Keep the page open if it still shows your work. Report a form problem with your phone model, iOS or Android version, browser, the step that failed and the exact save message. Use fictional examples; do not send tenant information or a real signature.

Restore original wording?

This removes your optional note. Your form details and signature will stay.

Clear this draft and signature?

This removes the saved draft from this browser and resets the open form, custom wording and both signature drafts. Downloaded PDF files are kept.

Replace the saved draft?

Use the form and signature in this tab as the saved draft. This replaces the saved copy from your other tab.
