Open guide →Virginia has more than one post-move-out clock
The normal security-deposit disposition deadline is 45 days. A separate additional 15-day period applies only when premises damage exceeds the deposit, requires a third-party contractor and the landlord gives the required written notice within the first 45 days. RentBillCheck keeps those two situations separate.
