(HB2122)

GOVERNOR'S VETO

Pursuant to Article V, Section 6 of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto House Bill 2122, which mandates that landlords provide a written copy of the rental agreement within ten business days of the agreement start date.

There is no substantial difference between the proposed 10-business-day and the current one-month requirement. Additionally, the requirement for specific notice language adds unnecessary regulatory hurdles and creates additional administrative actions for landlords to complete.

Accordingly, I veto this bill.
