Tenancy at sufferance is an agreement in which a property renter is legally permitted to live on a property after a lease term has expired but before the landlord demands the tenant vacate the property. If a tenancy at sufferance occurs, the original lease conditions must be met including the payment of any rents.
NOTE: Under Virginia law, if you do not have a lease, and you do not pay rent, you are considered a tenant at sufferance. This means you can be evicted for any reason at all, at any time, and no notice needs to be given to you.If the rent is paid by the week, only a 7-day written notice is required.

Which best describes a tenancy at sufferance? When the tenant stays beyond her lease without consent. A lease agreement was signed for 8 months by the lessor and the lessee.
When you want to evict a tenant who is occupying the premises on a month-to-month basis, give the tenant a 30-day notice to quit, get a summons for unlawful detainer from the court, and appear at the hearing to argue the case. If you win, obtain a writ of possession and have the sheriff evict the tenants.
TERMINATING OR ENDING YOUR TENANCY If you have no written lease and you pay rent by the month, the tenancy can be terminated by either you or the landlord for any reason or no reason at all, by giving at least 30 days written notice before the next rental due date.
As a renter in Virginia, you have legal protections under the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (VRLTA) that include the right to: A fair application fee. A fair security deposit. A decent and safe place to live.
No, the landlord can use the deposit for other costs set out in the lease. For instance, some leases state that the tenant agrees to pay the cost of carpet cleaning once she moves out. If that part of the lease is proper, the landlord can deduct for that charge.That is okay if the landlord wants to do that.
