Q: What happens if a landlord fails to give you an itemized deduction list in the 45 day period?
Received on the 47 day mark for 2200 additional dollars past security deposit
A: In Virginia, if a landlord fails to provide an itemized deduction list within the required 45-day period after the termination of the tenancy, they may forfeit their right to make deductions from the security deposit. According to Virginia law, if the landlord fails to comply with the 45-day requirement, they may be liable for the full return of the security deposit to the tenant.
