The Importance of Tenant Rights Awareness in West Virginia Demonstrated by Fast Eviction Processes


Legal Aid West Virginia’s Kira Maunz is helping low-income renters understand their rights, emphasizing the importance of signing a lease and knowing its terms when facing eviction. In West Virginia, eviction proceedings are quick and efficient, typically scheduled within 10 days. Section eight low-income housing also has unique rules, requiring tenants to move quickly if their voucher is terminated. Maunz stresses that landlords are responsible for habitability issues like heating and safety.

Maunz also suggests renters take out a renter’s insurance policy, as personal belongings can be hard to replace in case of theft or damage. Erica McVey, an independent agent, notes that many renters overlook insurance but emphasizes its importance, particularly for younger renters who may have more to lose. Most renter’s insurance policies are affordable and easy to add to existing insurance bundles.

Legal Aid West Virginia offers online resources to educate renters about their rights, providing valuable information for those navigating the rental market.
