Ziprent handles leasing, tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination and statutory deposit accounting for Ashburn owners — one flat monthly fee per property.
This is the single most important thing an Ashburn owner needs to know: Ashburn is an unincorporated settlement and census-designated place in Loudoun County, population 46,349 at the 2020 census. There is no Town of Ashburn, no Ashburn town council and no Ashburn municipal code. Every land use, occupancy and licensing rule comes from Loudoun County, and the county’s occupancy rule is the one that catches out-of-state owners: under the Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance definition of “family,” no more than four unrelated persons may occupy a single-family dwelling, and a related-persons household may add no more than two roomers or boarders. Loudoun enforces this actively through an Overcrowding Hotline (703-737-8190) and its Loudoun Express Request system.
Two further county obligations apply: short-term rentals of fewer than 30 consecutive days must be registered annually by 1 July under Codified Ordinance Chapter 1470 — registration is free, but operating unregistered draws a fine of $500 per violation, a zoning permit costs $165, and Zoning Ordinance section 4.03.05.C requires the operator to occupy the dwelling at least 185 days a year and caps short-term use at 180 days a year. And Loudoun’s BPOL business tax reaches landlords: “Rental by Owner — Commercial or Residential Property” is taxed at $0.16 per $100 of gross receipts, with a $30 flat fee where gross receipts are $200,000 or less.
Virginia sets the deposit rules statewide and closes the door on local variation. Under Va. Code 55.1-1226, “No landlord may demand or receive a security deposit, however denominated, in an amount or value in excess of two months’ periodic rent,” and the deposit, together with an itemized written notice of every deduction, damage and charge, must reach the tenant within 45 days after the termination date. Deductions are limited to accrued rent, damage from tenant noncompliance beyond ordinary wear and tear, charges specified in the rental agreement, and breach damages.
When you ask a tenant to vacate you must give written notice of their right to be present at the move-out inspection, which has to happen within 72 hours of delivery of possession, followed by a written itemized disposition statement. And Va. Code 55.1-1201 makes all of it non-negotiable locally: the Act “may not be waived or otherwise modified, in whole or in part, by the governing body of any locality” and it “shall supersede all other local ordinances or regulations concerning landlord and tenant relations.” Loudoun County cannot impose rent control, and it cannot lengthen or shorten your 45 days.
| Area | Typical rental stock | What owners ask about there |
|---|---|---|
| Ashburn Village | 1990s detached homes, townhomes and condos around the lakes | HOA leasing caps and the county's four-unrelated-persons occupancy limit |
| Ashburn Farm | Detached homes and townhomes on the Ashburn Farm Parkway loop | Association approval and amenity access for tenants |
| Brambleton | Newer detached homes, townhomes and apartments | Whether data-center and Metro demand supports a rent premium |
| Broadlands | Detached homes and townhomes near the Greenway | Turn timing against Loudoun County Public Schools' calendar |
| Moorefield Station / Loudoun Station | Newer townhomes, condos and apartments beside the Ashburn Metro station | Shorter corporate and contractor tenancies and 30-day notice mechanics |
| Belmont / Loudoun Valley Estates | Larger detached homes, some golf-adjacent | Deposit limits and the 45-day itemized return under 55.1-1226 |

Tenants and Owners Love Us
With the reviews to back it up as well 😎
“Extremely well-organized, professional, and efficient!!! […] Ziprent was able to do this with ease and in a very straight-forward way. I believe the best part about this company is how it is structured with several teams handling different aspects of the management (i.e. onboarding, repairs, leasing, etc), which made the whole process seamless. That in addition to also being affordable with flat-rate pricing makes this property management company best-in-class.If you’re looking for a property manager, Ziprent comes highly recommended!”

Ashburn FAQ
You got questions? We've got answers.
Our current average time is 14-21 days but depending on price and location it can be anywhere between 3-20 days in general.
Tenants will submit their request via their online account. Our platform will automatically send out bid requests from our extensive vendor network. We will surface the bid to you for your approval and then coordinate with the vendor and tenant to get the issue resolved.
To date we have done on-demand without any major issues. We carry an additional $50k in liability insurance to cover any damages, beyond your coverage, that may occur. Should a key go missing, we will have the locks rekeyed at our cost.
Depends on the location of the property. But at the very least, it needs to be free of clutter and trash, it needs to have been professionally cleaned or cleaned to that quality. Flooring and paint go a long way in making a rental feel refreshed.
We can usually schedule to come out to take photos, do a walk-through and take keys within 24-48 hours. We prefer to take photos when the property is completely empty and move-in ready and can generally get a listing online within 24-48 hours of taking photos.
IOur property management contract can be used for both tenant placement and property management. Our property management fee is tied together with rent collection, so if we aren’t collecting rent through our platform then we aren’t charging our property management fee.
