DIRECT ANSWER
§55.1-1253; covered tenancy and actual lease term control. Source as of: 2026-10-16 Use cited page body and explicit policy period. A page update date does not extend an expired rate or deadline. Confirm current requirements and the actual student, employee, household or property circumstances with the cited authority. No property inventory or named professional is assigned by this answer.
Ordinarily either party gives written notice at least 30 days before the next rent due date to terminate a month-to-month tenancy, unless the agreement provides a different notice period. A monthly payment schedule on a fixed-term lease is not itself proof of a month-to-month tenancy.
