Renting in Ashburn
Ashburn rent figures carry a real, disclosed spread: Apartment List cited a $2,683 median in August 2026 (down 2.8% year-over-year), Zumper cited a notably higher $3,100 in March 2026, and Point2Homes cited a lower $2,480 average -- while newer Virginia landlord-tenant law changes effective mid-2026 give tenants meaningfully more time before a nonpayment eviction filing can proceed, applying statewide including Ashburn.

Apartment List's August 2026 report cited a $2,683 median rent for Ashburn, down 2.8% year-over-year; Zumper's separate March 2026 figure cited a notably higher $3,100 median across all bedroom counts and property types; Point2Homes cited a lower $2,480 average. All three are disclosed here rather than collapsed to one number -- treat the honest range as roughly $2,480-$3,100/month depending on source and methodology, similar in kind to the wide rent-figure spread already disclosed for Arlington, VA in this project.
A Real, Meaningful 2026 Change to Nonpayment Eviction Timelines
Effective July 1, 2026, Virginia House Bill 15 and Senate Bill 48 extended the required pay-or-quit notice period for nonpayment of rent from 5 days to 14 days -- a statewide change applying in Ashburn and Loudoun County the same as everywhere else in Virginia, already detailed in this project's Arlington, VA sibling record. Nonpayment notices served before July 1, 2026 remained subject to the prior 5-day standard.
Security Deposits: A 2-Month Cap and a Firm 45-Day Return Deadline
Virginia caps security deposits at two months' rent, and landlords must deliver an itemized statement of any deductions -- along with the remaining deposit balance -- within 45 days after the tenancy terminates or the tenant vacates, a statewide rule applying in Ashburn identically to the rest of Virginia. A tenant can sue for the full deposit amount plus damages in Virginia General District Court if a landlord misses that deadline.
Entry Notice and Month-to-Month Termination Rules
Virginia landlords must give tenants at least 72 hours' notice before entering for routine, non-emergency maintenance the tenant did not request, with that maintenance required within 14 days of the notice. Month-to-month tenancies can be terminated by either party with at least 30 days' written notice before the next rent due date -- standard statewide Virginia rules applying in Ashburn the same as anywhere else.
Fiber-Internet-Included HOAs Are a Real, Ashburn-Specific Renting Consideration
As detailed on the best-areas topic page, Brambleton's HOA package includes fiber internet as part of its $230-400+/month fee -- a real, disclosed detail specific to that community's rental units (where a landlord's HOA dues, and thus potentially the tenant's included amenities, differ from a typical unbundled rental elsewhere in Ashburn) worth confirming directly for a specific rental unit rather than assumed universally.
Key takeaways
- Ashburn rent figures ranged $2,480-$3,100/month across three 2026 sources (Apartment List $2,683, Zumper $3,100, Point2Homes $2,480) -- a real, disclosed spread, not one settled number.
- Effective July 1, 2026, Virginia extended the required pay-or-quit notice for nonpayment of rent from 5 days to 14 days (HB 15/SB 48) -- a statewide, meaningfully tenant-favorable change applying in Ashburn.
- Security deposits are capped at 2 months' rent, with a firm 45-day deadline after move-out for landlords to return the balance with an itemized deduction statement.
- Landlords must give 72 hours' notice before routine, non-emergency entry (maintenance completed within 14 days), and month-to-month tenancies require 30 days' written notice to terminate.
- Brambleton's HOA package includes fiber internet as part of its $230-400+/month fee -- a real, community-specific detail worth confirming directly for a given rental unit rather than assumed universal across Ashburn.
