A short check-in, a freshly dated letter, and your Virginia housing protections stay airtight.
An aging letter is the most common reason Virginia landlords push back. Renewal closes that door before it opens.
The 12-month expectation holds everywhere in Virginia — Virginia Beach, Richmond, Arlington and Norfolk included — so the rhythm below applies statewide.
Lease renewals, building transfers, and new applications are when Virginia landlords look hardest at dates. Renewing two to four weeks before you need the letter keeps everything current without a scramble.
You meet briefly by phone or video with a Virginia-licensed mental health professional, who confirms your situation still supports the accommodation. On approval, a freshly dated letter carrying their active license details is delivered within 10–15 minutes.

Once a year is the safe rhythm. No statute sets an expiry, but Virginia landlords routinely treat letters older than 12 months as stale.
The same flat rates apply — and the same rule: no approval, no charge.
Absolutely — the renewal evaluation stands on its own, so it doesn’t matter where your first letter came from, as long as a Virginia-licensed professional approves the new one.
No — any appropriately licensed professional can conduct the renewal evaluation and issue updated documentation.
A current date, the professional’s active license details, and confirmation that the accommodation still fits your circumstances.
