Virginia operators: deposit packet habits · September 2026
Simple Property Tools is built for small landlords who itemize withholds, date surrender, and export before the clock on screen wins. Out-of-state mail on day forty-four without tracking is a common belt investor pain point.
- Return default
- 45 days from surrender (keys back · unit vacant)
- Statute label
- Va. Code § 55.1-1226
- Practice
- One line per withhold · dated photos · proof of mail when you send balance
Before you print or email
- Log surrender the day possession returns, not the lease end date on paper alone.
- Match move-in notes to move-out withhold descriptions.
- Archive the PDF export and tracking number in operator logs.
