In West Virginia, the landlord has 60 days to return your security deposit or send an itemized list of deductions (W. Va. Code §§ 37-6A-1, 37-6A-2, 37-6A-3, 37-6A-5). Enter your move-out date to get the exact date.
West Virginia: deposit (or itemized deductions) due within 60 days.
Add your move-out date to see the deadline.
- 60 days is the latest date: if a new tenant moves in sooner, the deadline is 45 days after they move in, whichever comes first.
- If damage costs more than the deposit and a contractor is needed, the landlord may send written notice within that period and then gets 15 more days to itemize.
