Local rental laws are regulated by the Virginia Landlord-Tenant Act, which states that tenants cannot charge more than two months’ rent for security deposits. The renter must be notified within 30 days if the landlord plans to withhold rent at the end of the lease. Otherwise, the deposit needs to be returned to the renter within 45 days with an itemized list of any deductions or charges. Each time you pay your rent, the landlord must provide a receipt, even if this isn’t directly stated in your lease and regardless of whether you pay by money order or cash.
