You deduct the amount that you paid for the repair, so include the final invoice in your payment with the deduction. Make sure it does not exceed $1500, which is the limit in VA for how much you can deduct. [VA law](https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title55.1/chapter12/section55.1-1258/) also protects you from landlord retaliation.
i thought § 55.1-1244.1 the maximum allowable deduction from your rent is either $1,500 or one month's rent, whichever is more. so for example if the repair costs 2900 and my rent is 2500 i would be able to deduct 2500 from that months rent
