A Virginia standard residential lease agreement is used by landlords and property managers to make legally binding rental arrangements with their tenants. Under the terms of the lease, the tenant is granted occupancy for a standard term of twelve (12) months for which they must pay monthly rent.

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.

Yes. There are certain protections that Virginia law offers tenants who may want to end the lease early. However, not all tenants may be able to apply for those protections, meaning they will have to either negotiate with their landlords or pay penalty fees.

A termination clause contains language that could lead to an early end to the swap contract if either party experiences specific, predetermined events or changes in its financial status, or if other specific events outside the party's control will change its ability to legally maintain the contract.

When a tenant is one ?at sufferance,? that means the tenant is under no lease agreement and does not pay rent. Here, the tenant can be removed at any time and for any reason without notice. Additionally, the landlord may not have to go through the court process and may use self-help methods such as changing the locks.

So you may not have to pay much, if any additional rent, if you break your lease. You need pay only the amount of rent the landlord loses because you moved out early. This is because Virginia requires landlords to take reasonable steps to keep their losses to a minimum?or to "mitigate damages" in legal terms.
