Rent, late fees & fees
- Page-one fee disclosure — Beginning on the first page, a written lease must itemize the security deposit, the rent per payment period, and any one-time charges due before move-in or with the first payment, directly beneath the statutory sentence “No additional security deposits or rent shall be charged unless they are listed below or incorporated into this agreement by way of a separate addendum after execution of this rental agreement” (§55.1-1204.1).
- Late fees — A late charge is only allowed if the written lease provides for it, and can’t exceed the lesser of 10% of the periodic rent or 10% of the remaining balance owed (§55.1-1204(E)).
- Payment methods — Landlords must accept checks and money orders and give receipts for cash or money-order payments. A payment-processing fee is allowed only if a fee-free method is offered, and can’t exceed the landlord’s actual third-party cost (§55.1-1204(J)).
- No maintenance fees — Unless the tenant caused the need by violating the Act, a landlord may not charge a fee for maintenance or repair of the unit (§55.1-1208(C)).
- Application fees — Capped at $50 plus the actual third-party cost of screening ($32 for HUD-regulated housing); unused application deposits must be refunded with an itemization within 20 days (§55.1-1203).
- Rent increases — A landlord owning more than four units must give 60 days’ written notice before the end of the term of any rent increase on renewal, and 60 days’ notice of non-renewal; from July 1, 2027 the increase notice becomes 90 days (§55.1-1204(K)). For a month-to-month or holdover tenancy, a new rent takes effect on the first rent due date at least 30 days after written notice (§55.1-1253(D)).
- Rent control — There is none; the VRLTA supersedes local landlord–tenant ordinances statewide (§55.1-1201(E)).
