Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia
return of deposit
My lease of five and one half months ended March 31st, 2007. In my lease contract it states ''The Security Deposit, any accrued interest (if applicable), and any deductions, damages, and charges shall be itemized by the Landlord in a written notice given to the Tenant, together with any amount due within forty-five (45) days after the termination of the tenacy and delivery of possesion.''
The Landlord respond to me on May 18th by email with a list of deductions and followed on May 21st with another email that said the check was in the mail.
Am I entitled to request the full deposit back to his failure to respond and deliver in a timely manner?

Re: return of deposit
Sure, you could request it, but if a correct itemization has been rendered(albeit a few days beyond the time frame specified in the VRLTA statute)and damages accurately assessed and deducted for from your security desposit), the landlord is not very likely to comply with your request.
