Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act; prohibited provisions in rental agreements.

Summary

The bill bars rental agreements from requiring tenants to pay fees for building maintenance, heating, cooling, pest control, trash, common‑area utilities, internet, cable, or any service costs above what the landlord actually pays. It also eliminates the ability for landlords and tenants to contractually shift typical landlord duties to tenants unless the arrangement is in good faith and does not lessen the landlord’s obligations to other tenants. The measure aims to protect renters from unexpected charges and preserve landlord responsibilities.
