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.

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.

"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.

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.
