Take Legal Action In the Commonwealth of Virginia, if no written agreement or lease is in place, then courts consider the agreement to be a verbal lease, which is treated like a month-to-month tenancy. Under Virginia law, tenants are entitled to 30 days' notice before eviction proceedings begin.

No Lease or Tenant at Will To evict a tenant with no lease or a ?tenant at will?, a landlord must serve them an X-Day Notice to Quit. The proper notice period a landlord gives depends on the length of rental period. If the tenant pays rent weekly, a landlord has to serve them a 7-Day Notice.

The landlord or the tenant may terminate a month-to-month tenancy by serving a written notice on the other at least 30 days prior to the next rent due date, unless the rental agreement provides for a different notice period. The landlord and the tenant may agree in writing to an early termination of a rental agreement.

In Virginia, landlords can evict tenants for a lease violation. The landlord must give tenants a 30-Day Notice to Comply, which provides them with 21 days to fix the issue. Should the tenant be unable to resolve the issue within 21 days, the tenant has the remaining 9 days to vacate the rental property.
