THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (hereinafter referred to as the “Agreement” or “Lease”) made and entered into this ____________ day of _______________________, 20____, by and between ____________________________________________________________, whose address is ____________________________________________________________ (hereinafter referred to as “Landlord”) and ____________________________________________________________ (hereinafter referred to as “Tenant”).   

 

WHEREAS, Landlord is the fee owner or authorized agent of the owner of certain real property being, lying and situated in _________________ County, Virginia, such real property having a street address of __________________________________________________________________ (hereinafter referred to as the “Premises”). 

 

WHEREAS, Landlord desires to lease the Premises to Tenant upon the terms and conditions as contained herein; and 

 

WHEREAS, Tenant desires to lease the Premises from Landlord on the terms and conditions as contained herein; 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the covenants and obligations contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

 

1. TERM.  This Agreement shall commence on ________________________ (“Commencement Date”). [select either A or B]:

 

____ A. Lease for Term: This Agreement shall continue as a lease for term. The termination date shall be on ________________ (date) at 11:59 PM. Upon termination date, Tenant shall be required to vacate the Premises unless one of the following circumstances occur: (i) Landlord and Tenant formally extend this Agreement in writing or create and execute a new, written, and signed agreement; (ii) local rent control law mandates extension of the tenancy; or (iii) Landlord willingly accepts new Rent from Tenant, which does not constitute past due Rent.  In the event that Landlord accepts from Tenant new rent, a month-to-month tenancy shall be created.  Either party may terminate this month-to-month tenancy by following the procedures specified in paragraph 1B. Rent shall continue at the rate specified in this Agreement, or as allowed by law. All other terms and conditions as outlined in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

____ B. Month-to-Month: This Agreement shall continue as a month-to-month tenancy. If at any time Tenant desires to terminate the tenancy, Tenant may do so by providing to Landlord written notice of intention to terminate.  Such notice to terminate must be provided to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the next rent due date, unless a different lawful notice period is expressly agreed in writing. If at any time Landlord desires to terminate the tenancy, Landlord may do so by providing to Tenant such written notice of intention to terminate at least 30 days prior to the desired date of termination of the tenancy.  

 

2. RENT.  Under the terms of this Agreement, “Rent” shall consist of all monetary obligations owed to Landlord by Tenant in accordance with this Agreement.  However, the Security Deposit shall not be considered Rent.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord ____________________________________________________________ Dollars ($______________) per month as Rent for the Term of the Agreement. Due date for Rent payment shall be the 1st day of each calendar month and shall be considered advance payment for that month.  Rent not received by the fifth (5th) day of the month may be treated as late for purposes of any late charge stated in Paragraph 22, subject to applicable law.  In the event that the Commencement Date is not the 1st of the calendar month, Rent payment remitted on the Commencement Date shall be prorated based on a 30-day period. 

 

Acceptable forms of payment of Rent to Landlord shall be [select all that apply]: ____personal check, ____money order, ____cashier’s check, or ____other: __________________________________________________________.  Payment shall be made to Landlord under the following name and address: ____________________________________________________________.

 

In the event that any payment by Tenant is returned for insufficient funds (“NSF”) or if Tenant stops payment, Landlord may require in writing that Tenant pay Rent by cash, cashier’s check, certified check, money order, or completed electronic funds transfer to the extent permitted by Virginia law and any applicable written notice.

 

3. SECURITY DEPOSIT.  Upon the due execution of this Agreement, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the sum of ______________________________________________________________ Dollars ($______________) receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by Landlord, as a Security Deposit. The total Security Deposit, including any refundable pet deposit and any damage-insurance or renter’s-insurance premiums required to be paid before commencement of the tenancy, shall not exceed two (2) months’ periodic Rent. Upon termination of the tenancy, such Security Deposit, plus any accrued interest, held by Landlord may be applied solely by the Landlord (i) to the payment of accrued rent and including the reasonable charges for late payment of rent specified in Paragraph 21; (ii) to the payment of the amount of damages which the Landlord has suffered by reason of Tenant’s noncompliance with Paragraph 11, less reasonable wear and tear; or (iii) to other damages or charges as provided in this Agreement. 

 

For lease terms of fewer than thirteen (13) months, the Security Deposit will be held by Landlord without any duty to pay interest and may be commingled with Landlord’s funds in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. 

 

For lease terms of more than thirteen (13) months, in accordance with the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, the Security Deposit will accrue interest at an annual rate equal to one percentage point below the Federal Reserve Board discount rate as of January 1 of each year on all property or money held as a Security Deposit. Such Security Deposit shall accrue interest from the effective date of this Agreement, and such interest shall be paid only upon termination of the tenancy, delivery of possession, and return of the Security Deposit as provided in this Agreement. 

 

During the course of the tenancy, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of any deductions to be made from Tenant’s Security Deposit. Such notification shall be made within thirty (30) days of the date of the determination of the deduction and shall itemize the reasons in the same manner. Such notification shall not be required for deductions made less than thirty (30) days prior to the termination of the Agreement. The Security Deposit, any accrued interest (if applicable) and any deductions, damages, and charges shall be itemized by the Landlord in a written notice given to the Tenant, together with any amount due the Tenant within forty-five (45) days after the termination date of the tenancy or the date Tenant vacates the Premises, whichever occurs last. If damages exceed the Security Deposit and require a third-party contractor, Landlord may provide written notice within that 45-day period and shall then have the additional time permitted by Virginia law to provide the final itemization. Landlord shall provide any required notice of Tenant’s right to be present at the move-out inspection. Landlord may withhold a reasonable portion for unpaid utility obligations only after the advance written notice required by Virginia law. If Landlord fails to return the Security Deposit or provide the required written itemization within such period, Landlord shall be liable to Tenant as provided in Virginia Code § 55.1-1226(A).

 

4. USE OF PREMISES.  The Premises shall be used and occupied by Tenant and Tenant’s immediate family, consisting of ____________________________________________________________, exclusively, as a private single family dwelling, and no part of the Premises shall be used at any time during the term of this Agreement by Tenant for the purpose of carrying on any business, profession, or trade of any kind, or for any purpose other than as a private single family dwelling.  Tenant shall not allow any other person, other than Tenant’s immediate family or transient relatives and friends who are guests of Tenant, to use or occupy the Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent to such use.   Tenant shall comply with any and all laws, ordinances, rules and orders of any and all governmental or quasi-governmental authorities affecting the cleanliness, use, occupancy and preservation of the Premises. Nothing in this Paragraph prohibits lawful home-office use that does not increase traffic, violate zoning, create nuisance, increase insurance risk, or otherwise materially affect the Premises without Landlord’s written consent.

 

5. CONDITION OF PREMISES. Tenant acknowledges receipt of the Premises subject to the written move-in inspection report and any written objections timely made by Tenant. Landlord shall provide the move-in inspection report required by Virginia law and shall disclose in that report whether there is visible evidence of mold in readily accessible interior areas. Tenant’s acceptance of possession does not waive Landlord’s statutory obligations to maintain fit premises or Tenant’s statutory rights and remedies.

 

6. ASSIGNMENT AND SUB-LETTING.  Tenant shall not assign this Agreement, or sub-let or grant any license to use the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord.  A consent by Landlord to one such assignment, sub-letting or license shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, sub-letting or license.  Any unauthorized assignment, sublease, or license is a breach of this Agreement and may be addressed through the notice and remedy procedures required by Virginia law.

 

7. ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS.  Tenant shall make no alterations to the buildings or improvements on the Premises or construct any building or make any other improvements on the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, except as otherwise required by applicable law as a reasonable accommodation or as otherwise permitted by law.  Any and all alterations, changes, and/or improvements built, constructed or placed on the Premises by Tenant shall, unless otherwise provided by written agreement between Landlord and Tenant, be and become the property of Landlord and remain on the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

8. NON-DELIVERY OF POSSESSION.  In the event Landlord cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant upon the commencement of the Lease term, through no fault of Landlord or its agents, then Rent shall abate until possession is delivered. Nothing in this Paragraph waives non-waivable rights or remedies under Virginia law.  Landlord or its agents shall have thirty (30) days in which to give possession, and if possession is tendered within such time, Tenant agrees to accept the demised Premises and pay the rental herein provided from that date.  In the event possession cannot be delivered within such time, through no fault of Landlord or its agents, then this Agreement and all rights hereunder shall terminate. If Landlord willfully fails to deliver possession, Tenant may terminate this Agreement upon at least five (5) days’ written notice and recover all prepaid rent and the Security Deposit, or demand performance and maintain an action for possession and damages, as provided in Virginia Code § 55.1-1233.

 

9. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.  Tenant shall not keep on the Premises any item of a dangerous, flammable or explosive character that might unreasonably increase the danger of fire or explosion on the Premises or that might be considered hazardous or extra hazardous by any responsible insurance company.   This restriction does not prohibit ordinary household products stored and used safely and lawfully.

 

10. UTILITIES.  Tenant shall be responsible for arranging for and paying for all utility services required on the Premises.   Landlord shall not interrupt or cause the interruption of an essential service except as permitted by law. This Paragraph does not relieve Landlord of any obligation to provide utilities or essential services required by this Agreement or applicable law.

 

11. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR; RULES.  Tenant shall maintain the Premises as required by Virginia law, this Agreement, and lawful community or association rules. Landlord remains responsible for the duties imposed on landlords by Virginia law, including maintaining fit premises, applicable building and housing code compliance, common areas under Landlord’s control, required utilities and facilities, and prompt response to mold and other required repairs. Tenant is responsible for damage or costs caused by Tenant’s noncompliance, misuse, negligence, or intentional acts, or those of Tenant’s occupants, guests, or invitees, ordinary wear and tear excepted.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall:  

 

(a) Not obstruct the driveways, sidewalks, courts, entry ways, stairs and/or halls, which shall be used for the purposes of ingress and egress only;

(b) Keep all windows, glass, window coverings, doors, locks and hardware in good, clean order and repair;

(c) Not obstruct or cover the windows or doors; 

(d) Not leave windows or doors in an open position during any inclement weather;  

(e) Not hang any laundry, clothing, sheets, etc.  from any window, rail, porch or balcony nor air or dry any of same within any yard area or space;

(g) Keep all air conditioning filters clean and free from dirt;

(h) Keep all lavatories, sinks, toilets, and all other water and plumbing apparatus in good order and repair and shall use same only for the purposes for which they were constructed.  Tenant shall not allow any sweepings, rubbish, sand, rags, ashes or other substances to be thrown or deposited therein.  Any damage to any such apparatus and the cost of clearing stopped plumbing resulting from misuse shall be borne by Tenant;

(i) And Tenant’s family and guests shall at all times maintain order in the Premises and at all places on the Premises, and shall not make or permit any loud or improper noises, or otherwise disturb other residents;

(j) Keep all radios, television sets, stereos, phonographs, etc., turned down to a level of sound that does not annoy or interfere with other residents; 

(k) Deposit all trash, garbage, rubbish or refuse in the locations provided therefor and shall not allow any trash, garbage, rubbish or refuse to be deposited or permitted to stand on the exterior of any building or within the common elements;

(l) Abide by and be bound by any and all rules and regulations affecting the Premises or the common area appurtenant thereto adopted or promulgated by the Condominium or Homeowners’ Association having control over them, provided that such rules are not inconsistent with this Agreement or Virginia law, are fairly applied, and Tenant has notice of them as required by law.   

 

12. INSURANCE.  Landlord, Landlord’s agent or manager, or, if applicable, the Condominium or Homeowners’ Association, are not responsible for insuring Tenant’s or Tenant’s permitted visitors’ personal property and vehicles against loss or damage due to theft, vandalism, fire, water, rain, criminal or negligent acts of others, or any other cause. Landlord has advised Tenant to carry Tenant’s own insurance (renter’s insurance) to protect Tenant from any such loss or damage. The parties agree that, upon notification by Landlord, Tenant shall take all actions necessary to avoid: (i) an increase in Landlord’s insurance premium (or Tenant shall pay for the increase in premium); or (ii) loss of insurance. If this Lease does not require Tenant to obtain renter’s insurance, Landlord shall provide before execution of this Lease the written notice required by Virginia law stating that Landlord is not responsible for Tenant’s personal property, Landlord’s insurance does not cover Tenant’s personal property, renter’s insurance is recommended, renter’s insurance does not cover flood damage, and Tenant may contact FEMA or use FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program to determine whether the Premises is in a special flood hazard area.

 

13. DAMAGE TO PREMISES.  In the event the Premises are destroyed or rendered wholly uninhabitable by fire, storm, earthquake, or other casualty not caused by the negligence of Tenant, this Agreement shall terminate from such time except for the purpose of enforcing rights that may have then accrued hereunder.  The rental provided for herein shall then be accounted for by and between Landlord and Tenant up to the time of such injury or destruction of the Premises, Tenant paying rentals up to such date and Landlord refunding rentals collected beyond such date.  Should a portion of the Premises thereby be rendered uninhabitable, the Landlord shall have the option of either repairing such injured or damaged portion or terminating this Lease, subject to Tenant’s non-waivable statutory remedies for material noncompliance or failure to supply essential services.  In the event that Landlord exercises its right to repair such uninhabitable portion, the rental shall abate in the proportion that the injured parts bears to the whole Premises, and such part so injured shall be restored by Landlord as speedily as practicable, after which the full rent shall recommence and the Agreement continue according to its terms.

 

14. INSPECTION OF PREMISES.  Landlord and Landlord’s agents shall have the right at all reasonable times during the term of this Agreement and any renewal thereof to enter the Premises for the purpose of inspecting the Premises and all buildings and improvements thereon.  And for the purposes of making any repairs, additions or alterations as may be deemed appropriate by Landlord for the preservation of the Premises or the building.  Landlord and its agents shall further have the right to exhibit the Premises and to display the usual “for sale”, “for rent” or “vacancy” signs on the Premises during the forty-five (45) days before expiration of this Lease, subject to the notice requirements above.   The right of entry shall likewise exist for the purpose of removing placards, signs, fixtures, alterations, or additions that do not conform to this Agreement or to any restrictions, rules or regulations affecting the Premises.

 

15. SUBORDINATION OF LEASE.  This Agreement and Tenant’s interest hereunder are and shall be subordinate, junior and inferior to any and all mortgages, liens or encumbrances now or hereafter placed on the Premises by Landlord, all advances made under any such mortgages, liens or encumbrances (including, but not limited to, future advances), the interest payable on such mortgages, liens or encumbrances and any and all renewals, extensions or modifications of such mortgages, liens or encumbrances.   This Paragraph does not waive any notice, possession, foreclosure, or tenant-protection rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.

 

16. TENANT’S HOLD OVER.  If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises with the consent of Landlord after the natural expiration of this Agreement, a new tenancy from month-to-month shall be created between Landlord and Tenant which shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof except that rent shall then be due and owing at ______________________________________________________ Dollars ($______________) per month and except that such tenancy shall be terminable upon thirty (30) days written notice served by either party. If Tenant remains in possession without Landlord’s consent after expiration or termination, Landlord may pursue possession and other remedies permitted by Virginia law. Any rent increase for the holdover period shall not take effect until the next rent due date at least thirty (30) days after written notice of the increase.

 

17. SURRENDER OF PREMISES.  Upon the expiration of the term hereof, Tenant shall surrender the Premises in as good a state and condition as they were at the commencement of this Agreement, reasonable use and wear and tear thereof and damages by the elements excepted.

Any refundable portion is part of the Security Deposit and subject to the limits and return procedures in Paragraph 3. Tenant remains liable for animal-related damage beyond ordinary wear and tear.

Nothing in this Paragraph exculpates Landlord from liability to Tenant arising under law or requires Tenant to indemnify Landlord for that liability or associated costs.

 

21. DEFAULT. As authorized under Virginia law, if Tenant is in default, Landlord shall provide the written notice required by applicable law and this Agreement. (a) For failure to pay Rent when due, Landlord may serve a written Notice of Nonpayment stating the amount owed and Landlord’s intent to terminate the Agreement if the amount is not paid within five (5) days after notice is served. If Tenant fails to pay within that period, Landlord may terminate this Agreement and pursue lawful remedies. (b) For material noncompliance with this Agreement or a violation materially affecting health and safety, Landlord may serve written notice specifying the acts and omissions constituting the breach and stating that the Agreement will terminate on a date not less than thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice if the breach is not remedied within twenty-one (21) days. If Tenant adequately remedies the breach before the termination date, the Agreement shall not terminate. (c) For a nonremediable breach, Landlord may serve written notice specifying the breach and stating that the Agreement will terminate on a date not less than thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice, except that a criminal or willful act that is not remediable and poses a threat to health or safety may permit immediate termination and possession proceedings as allowed by law.

(e) The Lease shall not terminate solely due to an act of family abuse against Tenant when Virginia law protects Tenant from termination based on such act and Tenant provides required documentation and notices. Upon termination, Landlord may seek possession, Rent due, actual damages, reasonable attorney fees as permitted by law, costs, and other remedies permitted by law. Landlord shall mitigate damages and shall not seek a judgment for accelerated Rent through the end of the term after obtaining possession except as permitted by law.

No late charge shall exceed the lesser of ten percent (10%) of the periodic Rent or ten percent (10%) of the remaining balance due and owed by Tenant.

 

23. ABANDONMENT. If Tenant abandons the Premises, Landlord may recover possession, terminate the Agreement, relet the Premises, and recover actual damages only in the manner permitted by Virginia law. If Landlord cannot determine whether Tenant has abandoned the Premises, Landlord shall give the written seven-day notice required by Virginia law before treating the Premises as abandoned. Landlord shall mitigate damages. Personal property left in or on the Premises or in storage may be treated as abandoned and disposed of only after the notices and waiting periods required by Virginia law, unless a writ of eviction has been executed or another legal exception applies. Tenant shall have the access rights provided by law before disposal.

 

24. ATTORNEYS’ FEES.  Should it become necessary for Landlord to employ an attorney to enforce any of the conditions or covenants hereof, including the collection of rentals or gaining possession of the Premises, Tenant agrees to pay all expenses so incurred, including a reasonable attorneys’ fee, but only to the extent the recovery of any such expenses are authorized by the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. Nothing in this Agreement limits any attorney-fee remedy available to Tenant under applicable law.

 

25. RECORDING OF AGREEMENT.  Tenant shall not record this Agreement on the Public Records of any public office.  Unauthorized recording is a breach of this Agreement and may be addressed through lawful remedies, including actual damages and injunctive relief if available.

27. SEVERABILITY.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, neither the remainder of this Agreement nor the application of the provision to other persons, entities or circumstances shall be affected thereby but instead shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

31. NON-WAIVER.  No indulgence, waiver, election, or non-election by either party under this Agreement shall affect the other party’s duties and liabilities hereunder.

32.
