What must a West Virginia landlord disclose to a tenant, and what must the lease say?

Verified September 13, 2026 All West Virginia topics →

West Virginia asks a residential landlord for one disclosure and it is not the one most summaries name: an owner, and any agent of the owner, must tell any potential purchaser or occupant about a clandestine drug laboratory identified on the property, including where it was, the remediation plans, any enforcement actions and any certificate that remediation is complete.

That duty is in a health rule rather than the code, which is why it is so often missed, and the rule expires on August 1, 2027 unless it is re-filed. Nothing else is required at signing: no written lease, no copy of it, no owner or manager identity, no tenant-rights document, no move-in condition report, and no flood, lead, mold, bed-bug, radon or asbestos disclosure. What the state does regulate is the shape of the lease. Since April 1982 a written residential lease must be in plain, coherent wording, in easily readable type with contrasting ink, and organized under captions; breaking that rule does not void the lease, but a tenant who asks for a conforming agreement and is refused may sue to have it reformed, and the right cannot be waived. A clause waiving the security-deposit rules is unenforceable, and a landlord who sues to enforce one owes the tenant actual damages and attorney's fees.

West Virginia lease disclosures at a glance

Which law governs West Virginia spreads this topic across four bodies of law and none of them is a residential landlord-tenant act. Chapter 37 article 6 carries the general landlord-tenant rules, including the habitability duties, and article 6A carries the residential security deposit rules and the only prohibition on what a lease may contain. The statute of frauds is in chapter 36. The rule that governs how a residential lease must be written is in the Consumer Credit and Protection Act, chapter 46A article 6, which names the rental of space to be occupied for residential purposes in its own text. And the state's one hazard disclosure is in a legislative rule, the clandestine drug laboratory remediation rule, which chapter 60A article 11 ordered the health department to write. West Virginia has no residential property condition disclosure statute at all, for sales or for leases, so there is no sales-side disclosure regime to read a lease against.
Who is covered The security deposit article applies to all residential rental premises or units used for dwelling purposes, and does not reach agreements for the payment of security deposits entered into before the article took effect. The general landlord-tenant article excludes squatters, meaning occupants who are not entitled under a rental agreement and are not authorized by the tenant; a holdover periodic tenant is expressly not a squatter. The lease-form rule is scoped by vintage and by transaction: it reaches written agreements entered into after April 1, 1982 by a natural person for a personal, family, household or agricultural purpose, which includes a residential lease. The hazard rule has the widest reach of any duty on this page, covering any building or structure primarily occupied by people as a dwelling or a business, including a storage facility, a mobile home, a manufactured home, a recreational vehicle, a hotel or a motel that may be sold, leased or rented for any length of time. No duty in this topic carries a unit-count threshold.
Written lease, copy and signature rules

No statute requires a residential lease to be in writing beyond the statute of frauds, so an oral tenancy is lawful. No statute requires the landlord to give the tenant a copy of the lease.

No West Virginia statute requires a residential lease to be in writing, and none requires the landlord to give the tenant a copy of one. A lease for more than a year must be in writing and signed by the party to be charged to be enforceable. If the lease is written, the state does have something to say about it, though not about its contents: since April 1982 a written consumer agreement, which by its own words includes the rental of residential space, must be in plain and coherent wording, in easily readable type with contrasting ink, and organized under captions. There is no translation duty, and no statute prescribes a clause a residential lease must contain. Copy duties exist only where a licensed broker is involved: a licensee must give a true legible copy of the contract to each person signing it, must deliver a copy at the time a signature is obtained, and must promptly deliver a copy to every signatory once the contract is accepted. A landlord who uses no licensee owes none of that.

Statute of frauds: No contract for the sale of land, or the lease of land for more than one year, is enforceable unless the contract or a note or memorandum of it is in writing and signed by the party to be charged or by that party's agent; the consideration need not be set out in the writing and may be proved by other evidence (section 36-1-3). The sanction is unenforceability rather than invalidity.

Format and plain-language rules: West Virginia does have a lease-form rule, and it is easy to miss because it sits in the Consumer Credit and Protection Act rather than the landlord-tenant chapter. Every written agreement a consumer entered into after April 1, 1982 for the purchase or lease of goods or services, whether for the rental of space to be occupied for residential purposes or for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes, must be written in a clear and coherent manner using words with common and everyday meanings; must use type of an easily readable size and ink that adequately contrasts with the paper; and must be appropriately organized and captioned by its sections so that it is easily understood. No point size is named; the standard is easy readability. Breaking the rule does not make the agreement void or voidable. The remedy runs through a request: if the consumer asks the other party to change the agreement or rewrite it to conform and the request is refused, the consumer may sue to have the agreement reformed. The rights cannot be waived, and an attempted waiver is void (section 46A-6-109).

Electronic leases and signatures: West Virginia's Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, chapter 39A, validates an electronic lease: it excludes only wills and testamentary instruments and most of the commercial code, with no exclusion for real property or leases, and it provides that where a law requires a writing an electronic record satisfies it and where a law requires a signature an electronic signature satisfies it. An electronic record must be capable of retention by the recipient at the time of receipt, and it is not if the sender or the sender's system stops the recipient printing or storing it. The carve-out that matters comes later in the act: it does not apply to a notice of default, acceleration, repossession, foreclosure, eviction or the right to cure under a rental agreement for an individual's primary residence. So the lease may be electronic while the notices that end it may not.
Owner and agent identity

No.

No West Virginia statute requires a landlord to tell the tenant who owns the property or who manages it, in the lease, in a separate writing or by posting, and there is no statewide landlord or rental registration to fall back on. But the flat negative understates the law, because West Virginia attaches a consequence to not naming the owner and hides it in a definition. For the security deposit article, landlord means the owner or lessor of the dwelling unit or the building it is part of, and also includes a managing agent of the premises who fails to disclose the name of the owner or lessor. A managing agent who does not name the owner therefore becomes the landlord for every purpose of that article: the duty to return the deposit within the notice period with an itemized statement, the duty to keep and produce deduction records, and the judgment for willful non-compliance, which is the unreturned deposit plus one and a half times the amount wrongfully withheld. There is no timing, no method and no form, and nothing requires the agent to volunteer the name; the incentive is the whole mechanism, and it reaches the deposit article only. Separately, a licensed broker must disclose in writing, on the Real Estate Commission's own agency relationship form, whether the licensee represents the landlord, the tenant or both, before anyone signs a representation contract. That is an agency disclosure and it does not name the owner.
Required statements and lease text

No.

West Virginia prescribes no tenant-rights statement, no summary of the landlord-tenant law, no handout a landlord must give and no words a residential lease must carry, and no statute or rule directs any state agency to publish such a document. What the state does prescribe is the form of the lease rather than its contents: plain wording, easily readable type and captioned sections, described with the written-lease rules. The one prescribed document in West Virginia law on this subject is the Real Estate Commission's agency relationship form, which binds a licensed broker rather than a landlord and is listed above without changing the answer. Two neighboring regimes are named so they are not mistaken for lease contents: the state's rent-to-own act, with its own disclosure section, governs goods rather than dwellings, and the written-agreement requirement for factory-built home communities is on the manufactured-home page.

Listed, but not a general duty counted above:

A Guide To Agency Relationships — a state-prescribed document to be handed over or attached; issued by the West Virginia Real Estate Commission. A licensed broker must give this two-page Real Estate Commission form before anyone signs a contract for representation or a contract to buy or sell real estate, and must use it to disclose whether the licensee represents the seller or landlord, the buyer or tenant, or both. The form's own categories cover lessor and lessee agency and state that a licensee must reveal known material defects about the property. It carries two consumer signature lines, a licensee line and three dates. Nothing in it comes from the landlord, and a landlord who uses no licensee never encounters it, so it is listed here but does not make West Virginia a prescribed-document state. The section states no penalty; failing to make the disclosure on the Commission's form is a ground for license discipline. Revision: Revised October 24, 2024, as printed in the footer of the form. The Commission's server shows a later re-posting date of April 27, 2026, which is a host stamp rather than a revision. Given before signing, handed over. Languages: English. Threshold: Binds a licensed broker acting in the transaction, not a landlord. Agency page. (W. Va. Code § 30-40-26(d)) Not counted as a general duty.
Move-in condition report

No.

West Virginia requires no move-in condition statement, inventory, checklist or walk-through, no signature, no notice that the tenant may inspect, and no list of what was charged to the previous tenant. Nothing in the deposit article turns on such a record: a landlord may apply the deposit to unpaid rent, to damages from the tenant's non-compliance beyond reasonable wear and tear, to unpaid utilities the landlord was billed for, to removal and storage costs, and to other damages or charges the rental agreement provides for, including paying a third-party contractor to repair tenant damage, without any condition report as a precondition. What exists instead works after the tenancy: the landlord must keep itemized records of every deduction for one year after the tenancy ends, and within seventy-two hours of a written request must either let the tenant or the tenant's agent or attorney inspect those records or give them a copy.
Hazard disclosures

One in-force state hazard disclosure: methamphetamine (before signing and when the event the section names occurs). No state duty exists for lead, mold, bed bugs, radon, asbestos, or any other hazard.

Every state duty and every stated absence, hazard by hazard:

Lead (state add-on to the federal rule) — no state duty. West Virginia adds nothing to the federal lead rule for landlords: no state notice at signing, no registration, no certificate to hand over and no re-disclosure on renewal. The state's lead article and its lead abatement licensing rule are about licensing abatement professionals, work practices and notifying the state, and neither uses the words tenant, landlord or rental. Where a lead abatement project is planned it is the owner or the person responsible for the building who must notify the state agency, not the occupants.

Mold — no state duty. West Virginia has no indoor mold regime of any kind: no disclosure, no remediation standard and no rule in any state agency's books. The word appears in three sections of the code and all three are elsewhere, in a tax definition and two agriculture provisions.

Bed bugs — no state duty. Neither bed bug nor bedbug appears anywhere in the West Virginia Code, and no state rule addresses them. There is no disclosure, no history duty and no treatment rule; an infestation is a repair and habitability question.

Radon — no state duty. No radon disclosure is owed to a West Virginia tenant. The state's radon article and its radon rule license mitigators, testers, contractors and laboratories, and neither uses the words tenant, landlord or rental. The one radon duty aimed at buildings applies to new schools.

Methamphetamine — in force — a state duty, before signing and when the event the section names occurs (an administrative rule). West Virginia has an in-force methamphetamine disclosure to prospective tenants, and it is routinely missed because it sits in a legislative rule rather than in the code. The statute directed the health department to write rules requiring property owners, sellers and landlords to disclose the existence of any former clandestine laboratory site or activity to any potential occupant of the residential property, and the department did: a residential property owner and any agent of the owner must disclose information about the identification of a clandestine drug laboratory on the property to any potential purchaser or occupant, including where the laboratory was, the remediation plans, any related enforcement actions and the issuance of any certificate that remediation is complete. A prospective tenant is a potential occupant, and residential property for this purpose means property that may be sold, leased or rented for any length of time. Nothing is prescribed about how the disclosure is made: no form, no wording and no requirement that it be in writing, and no deadline is stated, though the class of recipient makes it a pre-signing duty. The owner may delegate compliance in writing to whoever operates the property or to the remediation contractor. The duty sits inside a wider regime: once notified or aware, the owner must keep the property unoccupied and secured until testing shows contamination at or below the re-occupancy level, a certificate of remediation completion is issued or the property is demolished, and must test, start remediation or demolish within sixty days. An owner who neither knew nor should have known of the illegal use, and who has been certified, is immune from civil liability to future owners, renters, lessees and other occupants. One date matters: the rule terminates and has no further force or effect on August 1, 2027 unless it is re-filed. Knowledge standard: The owner has been notified by a law enforcement agency or otherwise becomes aware of a clandestine drug laboratory on the property. Threshold: No unit count. The unit-level rule works the other way: in a hotel, motel or multi-unit building every unit or area immediately adjacent to the one that held the laboratory, and under the owner's control, must be secured, vacated and tested, unless a fire break wall separates the adjoining units, in which case the commissioner may allow them to stay occupied while testing and remediation go on. In force since May 1, 2022. The subsection that creates the disclosure states no penalty. The rule says it is enforced by the commissioner, and the statute puts the cost of remediation on the owner. There is no damages figure, no lease remedy and no fee award.

Asbestos — no state duty. No West Virginia statute or rule requires an asbestos disclosure to a tenant. The state's asbestos article and its abatement rule are licensing instruments, and the three asbestos articles in the civil chapter are litigation rules about bankruptcy trust claims, claim priorities and successor liability; the disclosures one of them requires are required of the plaintiff in the litigation, not of a landlord.

Other hazard notices (pesticide, ordnance, pest control, water) — no state duty. West Virginia requires no pesticide-application notice, no military ordnance or noise-zone notice, no pest-control-contract disclosure, no contaminated-site notice and no water-quality or utility-hazard notice to tenants. The one duty about water in the landlord-tenant article is a duty to supply it rather than to say anything about it: where the unit is served by direct public utility connections the landlord must supply running water, reasonable amounts of hot water at all times, and reasonable heat between October 1 and the last day of April, unless the unit is built so that the tenant alone controls them.
Flood disclosure

No.

West Virginia requires no flood disclosure to a tenant, and the usual sentence about a sales statute that does not reach leases cannot be written here, because there is no sales disclosure statute either: the state has no residential property condition disclosure law at all. The word floodplain does not appear in the landlord-tenant chapter, and the one provision in the code using the phrase flood zone sets land-use standards for factory-built homes. The state's other flood provisions are flood control, floodplain management, dam safety, insurance and disaster law, none of which speaks to a lease.
Disclosures about the property's situation No statutory disclosure of this kind
What need not be disclosed None — no statute says a fact about the property need not or may not be disclosed in a rental, or bars a claim over its non-disclosure.
Utility, fee and payment disclosures West Virginia prescribes none of this. There is no shared-meter, submetering or ratio-billing disclosure, no duty to state every fee in the lease or to advertise a total price, no rent-receipt duty, no payment-method or payment-location disclosure, and no concession, renter's-insurance, smoking-policy or rent-reporting disclosure. Two provisions come close enough to be worth naming. The deposit article lets a landlord apply the deposit to reasonable charges for late payment of rent specified in the rental agreement, and to unpaid utilities that were billed to and paid by the landlord and are the tenant's obligation under the rental agreement; both make the charge depend on being in the agreement, which is the nearest West Virginia comes to a fees-in-the-lease rule and is not one. Municipal utility deposits for new customers run between the town and the customer and can become a lien on the property, but they are not a landlord-to-tenant disclosure. Late charges, deposits and the rest of the deposit rules are on the security-deposits page; West Virginia has no application or screening-fee statute.
Lease clauses that are void or prohibited

No enumerated list — West Virginia has no roster of prohibited lease clauses: nothing bans a confession of judgment, an exculpatory clause, a jury waiver or an attorney-fee clause, and no section lists provisions a lease must not contain. What it has are two anti-waiver rules with different reaches. The first covers the residential security deposit article and nothing else, and the general landlord-tenant article that carries the habitability duties has no anti-waiver at all; what it has instead is a rule that where the lease imposes a greater duty than the statute, the lease governs to that extent. The second is easy to miss because it sits in the consumer act: the plain-language, readable-type and captioning rights cannot be waived, and an attempted waiver is void, which reaches every written residential lease made since April 1982. A neighboring consumer provision barring a merchant from cutting down warranties or remedies is scoped to goods and does not reach a lease of space.

The clause is unenforceable, and a landlord who tries to enforce it owes the tenant's attorney fees.

Sanction as the statute states it: The provision is unenforceable, and nothing follows from merely putting it in the lease. Only if the landlord brings an action to enforce it may the tenant recover actual damages sustained and reasonable attorney's fees. There is no damages floor, no multiple of rent and no statutory figure. The lease-form limb works differently and is described with the written-lease rules: the agreement is not void or voidable, and the remedy is an action to have it reformed after the consumer has asked for a conforming agreement and been refused.

The general provisions:

• A rental agreement may not contain a provision by which the tenant agrees to waive or forgo rights or remedies under the residential security deposit article; such a provision is unenforceable (section 37-6A-4).

• A consumer may not waive the plain-wording, easily readable type and captioning rights the Consumer Credit and Protection Act gives, and an attempted waiver is void; because that section covers the rental of space to be occupied for residential purposes, the bar reaches every written residential lease made since April 1982 (section 46A-6-109, subsection b).
Attorney-fee clauses

No statute addresses attorney-fee clauses in residential leases as such.

A one-way clause making the tenant pay the landlord's attorney fees stands in West Virginia. No statute converts such a clause into a mutual one, no statute awards fees to a prevailing party in a lease action, and nothing bans the clause; the phrase prevailing party appears nowhere in the landlord-tenant chapter. The single fee provision in that chapter runs the other way and is narrow: where a landlord brings an action to enforce a provision the deposit article prohibits, the tenant may recover actual damages and reasonable attorney's fees. The one general hook that could reach a residential lease is in the consumer act and is not a reciprocity rule: a person who leases goods or services and suffers an ascertainable loss may sue for actual damages or two hundred dollars, whichever is greater, with equitable relief at the court's discretion and a right to a jury, on proof of an actual out-of-pocket loss proximately caused by the violation.
When, how, and what happens on a failure West Virginia has few timing pegs and almost no machinery. The methamphetamine disclosure is owed to any potential purchaser or occupant, which makes it a pre-signing duty for a prospective tenant, and it also fires during a tenancy once the owner is notified by law enforcement or otherwise becomes aware; nothing prescribes a form, a wording, a writing or a deadline, and the owner may delegate compliance in writing to whoever operates the property or to the remediation contractor. The lease-form rule applies at signing to every written residential lease made since April 1982. The agency relationship form, which binds a broker rather than a landlord, must be given before anyone signs a representation contract, and it is the only document in this topic with signature lines. No landlord disclosure in West Virginia requires a tenant's signed acknowledgment, and none recurs annually or on renewal. The remedies are just as thin. The methamphetamine disclosure states no penalty of its own and is enforced by the state commissioner, with the cost of remediation falling on the owner. The lease-form rule cannot void an agreement; a consumer must ask for a conforming agreement and be refused before suing to have it reformed, and the right cannot be waived. The deposit article's prohibited-provision rule pays out only when the landlord sues to enforce the clause, and then actual damages and fees. The deposit article's own willful non-compliance remedy, the unreturned deposit plus one and a half times the amount wrongfully withheld, set off against rent owed, is on the security-deposits page, and it is heard in magistrate or circuit court where the premises are. Other writings that are not signing-time disclosures include the notice a landlord must give where damage exceeds the deposit and a third-party contractor is needed, which buys the landlord fifteen extra days to itemize, and the duty to let a former tenant inspect or copy deduction records within seventy-two hours of a written request for a year after the tenancy ends.
Can cities add their own rules West Virginia says nothing either way about local lease-disclosure or lease-content ordinances. There is no preemption clause in the landlord-tenant chapter and none anywhere else, and unusually for the region the state does not preempt rent control either: the phrase appears once in the whole code, incidentally, in a section about county commissioners' duties. The municipal chapter carries no landlord provisions at all, and the nine sections there that mention tenants are about definitions, unsafe or unsanitary structures, abandoned properties in foreclosure, municipal utility rates, deposits and liens, and the powers of authorities. The Municipal Home Rule Program, now permanent, lists what a participating municipality may not do, and the list runs to environmental law, bidding, open records and open meetings, prevailing wages on public work, firearms, measures reaching beyond the municipal boundaries and occupation taxes; nothing in it reaches lease disclosure or lease content. Several West Virginia municipalities run rental registration or rental inspection programs under their general ordinance powers and that program, and those local requirements are not carried on this page. No West Virginia city carries its own lease packet.

Federal rules that apply in every state

The federal layer for the lease-disclosures topic, carried once for the whole site. Every row names who it binds: most federal lease attachments bind only a landlord who takes a voucher or holds HUD-assisted or HUD-insured property, and the one rule that binds every landlord (the lead-paint disclosure rule) is a floor that state law may add to. No state record restates these rows; a state record says only where its own law references or extends them. Each row below says who it binds before it says what it requires. The full text of each row, with its citations, is on the 50-state page.

Notes and caveats

Common questions: West Virginia lease disclosures

Each answer is the verified value from the table above, restated as a direct answer. Free to quote with a link to this page.

Does West Virginia require a landlord to give the tenant a written statement of tenant rights?
No. West Virginia prescribes no tenant-rights statement, no summary of the landlord-tenant law, no handout a landlord must give and no words a residential lease must carry, and no statute or rule directs any state agency to publish such a document. What the state does prescribe is the form of the lease rather than its contents: plain wording, easily readable type and captioned sections, described with the written-lease rules.
Does a West Virginia landlord have to disclose the owner's name and address?
No. No West Virginia statute requires a landlord to tell the tenant who owns the property or who manages it, in the lease, in a separate writing or by posting, and there is no statewide landlord or rental registration to fall back on. But the flat negative understates the law, because West Virginia attaches a consequence to not naming the owner and hides it in a definition.
Is a move-in inspection checklist required in West Virginia?
No. West Virginia requires no move-in condition statement, inventory, checklist or walk-through, no signature, no notice that the tenant may inspect, and no list of what was charged to the previous tenant. Nothing in the deposit article turns on such a record: a landlord may apply the deposit to unpaid rent, to damages from the tenant's non-compliance beyond reasonable wear and tear, to unpaid utilities the landlord was billed for, to removal and storage costs, and to other damages or charges the rental agreement provides for, including paying a third-party contractor to repair tenant damage, without any condition report as a precondition.
What hazards must a West Virginia landlord disclose to a tenant?
One in-force state hazard disclosure: methamphetamine (before signing and when the event the section names occurs). No state duty exists for lead, mold, bed bugs, radon, asbestos, or any other hazard.
Does West Virginia require flood disclosure to renters?
No. West Virginia requires no flood disclosure to a tenant, and the usual sentence about a sales statute that does not reach leases cannot be written here, because there is no sales disclosure statute either: the state has no residential property condition disclosure law at all. The word floodplain does not appear in the landlord-tenant chapter, and the one provision in the code using the phrase flood zone sets land-use standards for factory-built homes.
Does West Virginia void or prohibit specific lease clauses?
No enumerated list — West Virginia has no roster of prohibited lease clauses: nothing bans a confession of judgment, an exculpatory clause, a jury waiver or an attorney-fee clause, and no section lists provisions a lease must not contain. What it has are two anti-waiver rules with different reaches.

How this record was verified: Direct reading of the West Virginia Code on the Legislature's own host. The code pages carry no edition line, no credit line and no currency statement of any kind, so currency was built two ways: from the per-section amendment ledger the site keeps beside each section, read on every section this page types, and from the enumerated roll of bills that passed the 2024, 2025 and 2026 Regular Sessions, whose own counts of 279, 249 and 306 were matched exactly row for row, with each candidate's list of code sections affected then read on the bill's own history page and each disposition read from the bill record rather than from the list. Chapter 37 article 6, 31 sections, and article 6A, six sections, were read in full text, as were chapter 16 articles 32, 34 and 35, chapter 60A article 11, chapter 46A articles 2 and 6, chapter 36 article 1, chapter 39A articles 1 and 2, chapter 30 article 40, chapter 37 articles 3A and 15, chapter 55 article 3A and chapter 8 articles 1 and 12. Statewide negatives rest on the Legislature's own code-wide full-text search, which works with its chapter parameter, run term by term with every hit enumerated: methamphetamine 21 sections, clandestine drug 9, radon 15, asbestos 45, lead-based paint 3, bed bug and bedbug 0 each, mold 3, flood zone 1, landlord 57, rental agreement 44, property condition 0, psychologically impacted 0, rent control 1, rental registration 1. The Code of State Rules was enumerated agency by agency on the Secretary of State's own host, 643 rule versions for Health and smaller inventories for six other agencies, and every active rule touching this topic was read in full: the clandestine drug laboratory remediation rule, the lead abatement licensing rule effective July 1, 2026, the childhood lead screening rule, the asbestos abatement licensing rule, the radon licensure rule, the manufactured home community rule, the brokerage conduct rule effective April 7, 2026 and the consumer goods rental rule. Each rule's own filing, effective and sunset lines were read and quoted. The one prescribed form was read from its own face on the Real Estate Commission's site, with the revision printed in its footer. No West Virginia decision was read and none ships. The 2026 Regular Session adjourned March 14, 2026 with no carryover. Verified September 13, 2026.
