For housing near James Madison University, what move-in inspection record must a Virginia landlord provide?
DIRECT ANSWER
§55.1-1214; covered private residential tenancy. Source as of: 2026-10-16 Use cited page body and explicit policy period. A page update date does not extend an expired rate or deadline. Confirm current requirements and the actual student, employee, household or property circumstances with the cited authority. No property inventory or named professional is assigned by this answer.
Ordinarily the landlord supplies an existing-damage report within five days after occupancy, and the tenant has five days after receipt to object in writing. A written policy can instead provide for a tenant-prepared or joint signed report. Recording a defect does not remove separate repair obligations.
