Rent, late fees & rent increases

Rent amount, due date, and grace period are matters of contract in West Virginia. There is no statewide rent control statute, and no West Virginia city has adopted rent control.

  • Late fees — No statute caps late fees. The deposit statute refers to “reasonable charges for late payment of rent specified in the rental agreement” (§37-6A-2(b)(1)), so a late fee should be written into the lease and kept reasonable.
  • Rent increases — During a fixed-term lease, rent can change only if the lease allows it. For a periodic tenancy, West Virginia has no dedicated rent-increase statute; because the landlord could otherwise end the tenancy on one full rental period’s notice (§37-6-5), an increase should be given with at least that much written notice.
