CODE OF VIRGINIA

WHO LIABLE FOR RENT (§ 55-229)

Rent may be recovered from the lessee or other person owing it, or his assignee,
or the personal representative of either; but no assignee is to be liable for
rent which became due before his interest began. Nothing herein shall impair or
change the liability of heirs or devisees for rent, as for other debts of their
ancestor or devisor.
