I am interested in seeing some specific paperwork that was given to me months ago by my landlord and cannot find it. I'm having quite a bit of difficulty with them on several different levels and would like to see the entire file and possibly make copies. Does anyone know if they are required to show me or can they legally not allow me to? I reside in VA. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer on this.

Landlords are required to show the contract and other related documents vis-a-vis the tenant if the latter lost the personal file.

Im not a VA attorney, but in general no. If you were involved in a dispute with your landlord you could obtain the file trough discovery. If no dispute then it is private property so you need to ask pretty please.

YES, just as he has a right to check your references
