Under the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, for which issue can a tenant seek restitution?

A tenant can seek restitution for the landlord not fixing electric panels that are not up to code because this issue directly impacts the tenant's right to a safe and habitable living environment. The Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act mandates that landlords must provide properties that comply with health and safety codes. If the electrical systems are not functioning properly or are not up to code, this can be seen as a violation of the landlord’s obligations, allowing tenants to seek remediation or restitution for any damages or risks associated with such negligence.

In contrast, while the failure to provide monthly statements, rent increases without notice, or the failure to provide a rental agreement may raise legitimate concerns, they do not pertain directly to safety or habitability standards stipulated under the Act. These issues might lead to disputes or claims for other types of damages, but they do not typically warrant restitution in the same way that failing to maintain safe living conditions does. Thus, option B is the correct and most relevant choice in this context.
