Virginia SB349 amends the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act to regulate pre-tenancy fees and security deposits in rental agreements. It prohibits landlords from charging fees exceeding two months' rent as a security deposit or pet deposit. Landlords must return security deposits within 45 days of tenancy termination, with deductions only for damages beyond normal wear and tear or pet-related damages. The bill also mandates that landlords provide tenants with a written statement of charges and payments upon request.
