Virginia Rent receipts, payment methods & cash
Rent receipts, payment methods & cash in Virginia
Landlords must accept rent and deposits by check and money order, and give a written receipt for cash or money-order payments. Processing fees are allowed only if a fee-free payment option is offered, and only up to the actual third-party cost. Landlords with four or fewer units don't have to accept cards.
