My question involves a security deposit in the State of: Virginia
My wife and I are on a month to month lease. Recently, we gave our landlord 30 days notice that we are vacating the property. We did this via certified mail, regular mail, and email. In this letter we stated that we would be shutting off utilities the last day we were here and would like to schedule a walk thru. We hadn't heard anything, so we emailed our landlord...twice over the next 2 1/2 weeks and left a message on his answering machine. No response..except the "for rent" sign outside our property.
Our move date is getting very close. If our landlord doesn't do a walk-thru, will we have a problem getting our security deposit returned? Are they legally required to do this walk-thru? How long legally can they hold onto our deposit?
Thank you for responding
