Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act; pre-tenancy fees.

Summary

The bill bars landlords from charging any fee that isn’t a defined pre‑tenancy fee and requires written notice of such fees before a unit is shown or payment is requested. It also cuts the maximum security deposit from two months’ rent to one month’s rent and shortens the notice period for itemized deductions after a tenancy ends. These changes aim to make rental costs more transparent and reduce upfront financial burdens for tenants.
