Who it is for
Landlords and property managers with rentals in West Virginia, and tenants who want the same record, from move-in through move-out or a court case.
Not the right fit if
Your rental is outside West Virginia: get that state's kit. Not legal advice, not a lawyer's review of a lease, notice or court case, and not a set of legal notice forms; city and county rules aren't covered.
Why it is different
- Built only from our West Virginia data files, checked November 2026 against 7 official pages, among them West Virginia Legislature: Code 37-6A-2; West Virginia Legislature: Code article 37-6A; West Virginia Legislature: W. Va. Code Chapter 37, Article 6 (Landlord and tenant); West Virginia Code, Chapter 55, Article 3A (Wrongful Occupation of Residential Rental Property); W. Va. Code 50-2-1; 2025 HB 2761 enrolled.
- 8 items the official pages didn't state are marked "not confirmed" with the page to check, never guessed.
- The workbook recalculates with zero formula errors and works out West Virginia notice and deposit dates for you.
What is inside
- Start here. How to use the kit, the 15 confirmed West Virginia rules at a glance and the 8 items to confirm: where the deposit is held, unpaid rent notice, filing fee, judgment to writ, writ to lockout, paying to stop the case, right to counsel (statewide), diversion or mediation (statewide), each with the official page to check.
- West Virginia landlord rules checklist. Deposits, notice periods, the eviction case and the small claims limit, each confirmed rule with its source link and check date. What it confirms: deposit limit: No maximum in article 37-6A; return deadline: Within 60 days after the tenancy ends, or 45 days after a new tenant occupies the unit, whichever is shorter, with a written itemization; 15 more days to itemize repair costs when repairs are needed (37-6A-1(7), 37-6A-2); itemized list of deductions: A written itemization of damages and other charges (37-6A-2(a)); interest on the deposit: Not addressed in article 37-6A; penalty the law states: Willful or bad-faith noncompliance: the deposit plus one and one-half times the amount wrongfully withheld (37-6A-5(a)); ending month-to-month (landlord): A periodic tenancy of less than a year ends on notice for one full period before the end of any period; ending month-to-month (tenant): A periodic tenancy of less than a year ends on notice for one full period before the end of any period; rent increase notice: Article 6 sets no rent increase notice.
- Move-in and move-out deposit checklist. A room-by-room condition checklist for both visits and the steps after move-out, with West Virginia's return deadline (within 60 days).
- Notice calendar. When each notice must go out: the lead time for every notice the state's text confirms, with a 2027 month-by-month serve-by table worked out with our notice date calculator's rules.
- Eviction timeline sheet. The West Virginia case in order from notice to lockout, with each confirmed stage, an example dated from a sample filing day where the rules give periods, and blanks for your own case dates.
- West Virginia landlord workbook (Excel). A tenant notice log that dates each notice from the West Virginia rules, a deposit tracker that works out the return date for each move-out, and a rent ledger with a running balance.
