State Specific Question About: VIRGINIA (VA)
I'm not seeing this in the "State laws" section above. Does anyone know, when the landlord is supposed to supply the heat IN VIRGINIA, what date in the fall it's supposed to be turned on and what date in the spring it can be turned off? --70.16.xxx.xx |

most areas of the country will be very close to this:
equipment up and running mid oct thru mid april and capable of maintaining heat up to XF IF the LL is paying the bill (eg multi apartment)
if the tenant pays the bill (egSFH) then it's about having equipment capable of maintaining heat up to XF.

Hud calls for heating to 65F, dependant on outdoor temps, I used to maintain a factory HVAC and we had a union allowance for the degrees below zero from 65 comfort level, the heating stuff has to make 65F until 10 below then 55F. --99.128.xx.xx |

Here in NJ the heat must be on when the daytime temperature is below 68 degrees.
Used to be October through April but it can be really warm in both of those months here so that doesn't work well. --76.99.xxx.xx |

In the apartment building using a Tekmar electronic boiler control where the outside temperature is set at 10C or 50F. During the day it is warm enough where the heat goes off. As the outside temperature cools below the setting on the outside the heat comes on. Each year the warm days where the heat goes on varies from month to month. September was much warmer where the heat came on for a few days. Tonight the heat came on where probably tomorrow the heat will go off during the day. Around November the heat will remain constantly on. Electronic boiler controls will paid for in one heating season as the amount of natural gas saved and electricity saved will pay for the control along with less wear and tear on the heating equipment. It does not make sense to have the heat on when the outside is warm enough where heat is not needed. --216.110.xxx.xx |

Anon * Ignore the above....this is NOT, repeat NOT in the Virginia landlord tenant code. It is ENTIRELY governed by local ordinance in NoVa, Richmond and possibly Tidewater.
In Virginia common law leases, landlords do not have to provide any HEATING apparatus since so many homes have fireplaces, etc. --64.12.xxx.xx |
