FAQ

In our experience, some Virginia judges will adhere to the generally accepted concept of a month-to-month tenancy, and rule that unless a notice is provided at least 30 days before the last day of a calendar month, the lease will not terminate until the end of the following calendar month.

Once it is signed by both the landlord and the tenant, the lease is a legally binding contract. If you have any questions about anything in this lease, you should talk to an attorney about the lease before you sign it.

"Authorized occupant" means a person entitled to occupy a dwelling unit with the consent of the landlord, but who has not signed the rental agreement and therefore does not have the financial obligations as a tenant under the rental agreement.

For those who are new to the subject or just need a quick refresher, the city of Virginia Beach defines a short-term rental property as: “An entire dwelling rented for less than thirty (30) consecutive days for compensation.”

Definition: A short-term lease is any lease with a term that's 12 months or less, including options to extend, with or without a reasonable certainty of being exercised.

A Virginia month-to-month lease agreement is a rental contract between a landlord and tenant that can be terminated at will. There is no set end date with this type of agreement, unlike a standard lease. Instead, it renews every month, and either party can end the tenancy with 30 days' notice.

The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that real estate leases over five (5) years in length are unenforceable, unless they are “under seal,” use the words “this deed, or this indenture” in the body of the document, or are notarized.

Any roommate who is named as a tenant in the tenancy agreement is presumptively a tenant with rights and obligations under the Act; whether any roommate is a tenant or not is ultimately a legal determination that can only be made by a Residential Tenancy Branch arbitrator who will weigh the factors in favour and ...

To write a simple contract, title it clearly, identify all parties and specify terms (services or payments). Include an offer, acceptance, consideration, and intent. Add a signature and date for enforceability. Written contracts reduce disputes and offer better legal security than verbal ones.
