The Virginia law regulating landlord tenant relations speaks to mold. But it does not identify an agency responsible for regulating problems with mold. If a party feels like there is a violation of the Landlord Tenant Act and they are unable to resolve it though cooperative discussions, they must bring civil action. Sections 55-225 and 55-248 of Virginia law can be seen on the Internet or can be read in the reference section of local public libraries.
