A landlord may require as a condition of tenancy that a tenant have commercial insurance coverage as specified in the lease to ensure the tenant`s compliance with the terms of the lease and to cover the cost of premiums for that insurance coverage received from the landlord, commonly referred to as “damage insurance.” As provided for in § 55.1-1200, these payments are not considered as a deposit, but as rent. However, as provided in § 55.1-1208, the landlord does not require a tenant to pay both a deposit and the cost of non-life insurance premiums if the total amount of deposit and non-life insurance coverage exceeds the amount of two periodic rents.

The landlord must inform the tenant in writing that the tenant is entitled to receive a non-life insurance policy separate from the landlord`s policy. If a tenant opts for a separate policy, they must provide the landlord with written proof of that coverage and maintain that coverage at all times during the term of the lease. If a landlord is covered by damage insurance in the name of a tenant, the insurance policy covers the tenant as an insured. The Lessor will reimburse the Tenant for the actual cost of this insurance coverage and may recover the administrative or other costs related to the administration of any damage insurance, including a Tenant who chooses not to subscribe to the insurance coverage provided by the Lessor in accordance with this Subsection.

If the landlord intentionally fails to comply with this section, the court will order the return of the deposit to the tenant, along with actual damages and reasonable attorneys` fees, unless the tenant owes rent to the landlord, in which case the court orders an amount equal to the deposit that will be deducted from the rent owed to the landlord. In the event that the damage to the premises exceeds the amount of the deposit and requires the services of a third party, the landlord must inform the tenant in writing within the 45-day period prescribed in paragraph A.

If the termination is made as prescribed in this subsection, the landlord has an additional 15 days to make a breakdown of the damage and repair costs. This section does not prevent a landlord or lessee from recovering other damages to which the landlord or lessee is entitled under this chapter. The holder of the landlord`s interest in the premises at the time of termination of the lease, regardless of how the share is acquired or transferred, is bound by this section and is required to return any deposit received from the original landlord that is due to the tenant, whether or not the deposit is transferred with the landlord`s interest by law or in equity. regardless of any contractual agreement between the original owner and his legal successors.
