Ok are you sure? He's telling me that I have to get out after 5 days without a court process. Im not sure if he can do that.

Very few States do it that way and Its usually a scare tactic or he never did proper eviction. I am on a cell phone so I or someone here will link you to the law or explain it.

Yes we are sure, but that is a general statement. It would help if you tell us what you are renting. Are you renting a house, an apartment in a house or apartment building or just a room? That may make a difference.

But this site:
Virginia Eviction

Should confirm the process for you. You might want to print it out and give it to the landlord.

But if you can't pay, then you should be looking for new accommodations ASAP.

He just wants you out, without all the legal trouble and of course morally, if you can not pay, you should leave, but legally he has to do formal eviction.

** as a note you will still owe the rent and he can get a judgement against ou

He is right and wrong. If you haven't paid your rent on time, you don't have the right to continue to be there. So, in a way, you "have to" get out. But he still can't force you to get out without first getting a court order.
