                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

HOW JUDGMENT OF FORFEITURE PREVENTED (§ 55.1-1423)

If any party having right or claim to lands subject to a proceeding filed
pursuant to § 55.1-1419, at any time before the trial in such ejectment, pays
to the party entitled to such rent, or to his attorney, or pays into court, all
the rent and arrears owed, along with any reasonable attorney fees and late
charges contracted for in a written rental agreement, interest, and costs, all
further proceedings in the ejectment shall cease. If the person claiming the
land is relieved, he is entitled to hold the land in the same manner as he was
prior to the commencement of the proceedings, without a new lease or conveyance.
If the parties dispute the amount of rent and other charges owed, the court
shall take evidence on the issue and make orders for the tender, payment, or
refund of any appropriate amounts.
