West Virginia's commercial landlord-tenant framework is governed almost entirely by the negotiated lease agreement. The residential protections — implied warranty of habitability, security deposit return deadlines, and the repair-and-deduct remedy — do not apply to commercial tenancies. Combined with the state's fast "rocket docket" eviction process, West Virginia offers a very landlord-friendly commercial environment.
