Fairfax County requires landlords and property owners to maintain rental and commercial buildings free of vermin under the Virginia Maintenance Code, with Health Department referrals for persistent infestations affecting multifamily housing.
The Virginia Maintenance Code, adopted by Fairfax County, requires owners to maintain occupied structures free of insects, rodents, and other vermin. In rental housing the landlord bears primary responsibility for treating infestations not caused by tenant behavior. Fairfax County code-enforcement inspectors investigate complaints under Chapter 102, and the Fairfax County Health Department coordinates with state authorities on rodent or bedbug outbreaks in multifamily complexes. Pesticide applicators must hold Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services certification. Repeated violations can lead to escalating civil fines and orders to vacate uninhabitable units.
Civil penalties up to 2,500 dollars per violation under Maintenance Code; orders to vacate; repeat-offender escalations; pesticide-license revocation possible.
