Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia

Can I terminate a lease agreement within one week of signing it.

I just rented an apartment last week in fairfax county but when I moved in on the 1st of this month, I did not like the neighbourhood and want to leave. Do I have the option to terminate the lease?
