Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

I moved out of my college apartment in May 2012, the landlord just contacted me to say one of the 3 of us didn't pay for the damages, he has 2 checks but no names - there were 3 of us that rented the apartment. He said if we didn't pay by the end of the month he would turn all 3 of us over to collection. The charges are $120.00, no one seems to remember if they in fact paid. What is the statute of limitations on this.

Hi there:

In cases of this nature, the statute of limitations would be contractual in nature. If there was a written lease, the statute of limitations is 5 years. If only a verbal month to month, it is 3. Good luck.
