Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia
If i default on a lease to own, am i obligated to pay rent for the entire term of lease?
our lease says is in default if " the landlord may recover from tenant the amount of any unpaid rent together with an amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all of its damages proximately caused by Tenants failure to perform, including but not limited to attorneys fees, ect."

No, apparently not; rather only the unpaid rent arrearages and the
landlord's claim for damages that can be reasonably determined to be proximately caused by your "failure to perform" (the contract).
