A Virginia month-to-month rental agreement, or “tenancy-at-will”, is a lease contract that allows a tenant to stay on the property and pay rent until either the landlord or tenant decides to end the tenancy by providing the required notice. There is no end date and only terminates when the landlord or tenant decides to cancel with written notice. The landlord may also change the terms of the lease by providing the same notice (e.g. increasing the rent). The landlord is recommended to follow the same tenant screening process by requiring a rental application.
Minimum Termination Period – 30 days
Laws – § 55.1-1253(A)
