Return security deposit with itemization within 60 days after tenancy ends. West Virginia Code 37-6A-1 and 37-6A-2 require delivering the deposit, less allowed deductions, with a written itemization within 60 days after the tenancy ends or within 45 days after a new tenant occupies the unit, whichever is shorter, and a landlord whose failure is willful or not in good faith can owe the unreturned deposit plus damages of one and a half times the amount wrongfully withheld.
