Virginia Month-to-Month Lease Agreement Form

Minimum Termination: The landlord or tenant may terminate a month-to-month lease by serving written notice at least 30 days before the next rent due date, unless the lease provides a different notice period (§ 55.1-1253(A)). A statutory exception to this notice period applies to corporate or large-scale landlords:

• Mass Tenancy Non-Renewals: An owner of multifamily premises that terminates either 20 month-to-month tenancies, or 50% of the month-to-month tenancies within a consecutive 30-day period in the same building, must provide each affected tenant with at least 60 days’ written notice (§ 55.1-1253(B)).

Increasing Rent: Virginia places no limits on how much or how often a landlord can increase rent. To raise the rent, landlords must provide at least 30 days’ written notice prior to the next rent due date (§ 55.1-1204(I)). If a written and signed lease specifies a longer notice period, that contractual timeline overrides the statutory 30-day minimum (§ 55.1-1204(I)).
