unreasonable.
C. During the pendency of the action, the tenant shall pay into a court escrow account the amount of rent that becomes due within five days of the date due under the rental agreement, unless or until such amount is modified by subsequent order of the court pursuant to this chapter. The tenant shall not be required, however, to pay the amount of any outstanding rent, late charges, attorney fees, or other charges or damages due in order to file a tenant's assertion under this section.
Failure of the tenant to timely make payments into the court escrow account in accordance with this subsection shall not be grounds for dismissal of the underlying action, but may be considered by the court when issuing an order pursuant to subsection E. Nothing herein shall prevent a landlord from (i) proceeding to obtain possession pursuant to subsection F of § 55.1-1245 if the tenant fails to timely make a rent payment into the court escrow account in accordance with this subsection and the rental agreement or (ii) obtaining a money judgment for any and all amounts due to the landlord under the rental agreement.
D. It shall be sufficient answer or rejoinder to an assertion made pursuant to subsection A if the landlord establishes to the satisfaction of the court that (i) the conditions alleged by the tenant do not in fact exist; (ii) such conditions have been removed or remedied; (iii) such conditions have been caused by the tenant, his guest or invitee, members of the family of such tenant, or a guest or invitee of such family member; or (iv) the tenant has unreasonably refused entry to the landlord to the premises for the purpose of correcting such conditions.
E. Any court shall make findings of fact on the issues before it and shall issue any order that may be required.
