Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

End of Residential Lease

My lease ended on August 31 and the landlord and I have not come to an agreement on a new lease. (For example: he raised the rent and the house is in need of some repairs). I offered to do a month-to-month lease so he could find new renters and so I can find a new place to rent, but he will only agree to a 1 year lease. Since we are currently staying in the home with out a lease, how long do I have to move out if he says he wants us out ASAP? 3 days? 5 days? 30 days?

Re: End of Residential Lease

August 31, 2007. (In other words, if your landlord has given you the required advance notice under the last valid lease, and you and the landlord have been unable to agree on terms for a new lease(or an extension of the old one), you must vacate the premises immediately, as, apparently, you are now without any legal right to stay thereon any longer.
