FAQ

A Virginia rent-to-own agreement is a unique lease that permits a tenant to purchase rental property after satisfying certain conditions. Before the lease commences, the tenant pays the landlord a fee to exercise the option to purchase the property.

Rent-to-own agreements include a standard lease agreement and also an option to buy the property at a later time. You pay rent throughout the lease, and in some cases, a percentage of the payment is applied to the purchase price.

A Virginia rent-to-own contract must adequately describe who will make repairs to and maintain the property during a lease. These responsibilities must be clearly outlined. If the consumer chooses to exercise a rent-to-own option instead of leasing, the consumer is responsible for repairs and maintenance.

No, standard residential lease agreements do not need to be notarized in Virginia. As long as the lease is signed by at least one party and meets the requirements to be legally binding, it is enforceable.

The state of Virginia requires that rental properties maintain certain habitable standards. If your landlord doesn't meet them, then you can break the lease without any further obligations. In such a case, a court would deem you to have been "constructively evicted."

Like some other states, Virginia only requires the signature of one party to be binding. If the landlord doesn't sign a lease that has been signed by the tenant, accepting rent has the same effect as signing the lease.

A notary can play an important role in making sure that a contract is legally enforceable, even if notarization isn't necessary. Just like wills, there is generally no requirement that a contract be notarized in order to be legally binding.

According to Virginia landlord-tenant law, tenants have the right to live in a habitable unit that complies with proper housing regulations. Additionally, tenants have the legal right to request required repairs if the unit has any kind of damage that exceeds normal wear and tear.

Lease automatically may renew on a month-to-month basis unless landlord or tenant gives written notice of non-renewal before the end of the set term.

A lease option allows the landlord to retain the legal title of the lease option property, without the mundane management responsibilities. Lease options are also an ideal way of securing long term tenants. Most lease-options are for an average term of between 7 and 10 years.
