Contracts
Under Virginia law, a lease agreement that does not specify a duration is presumed to be:

CA week-to-week tenancy
DA tenancy at will terminable immediately

When a lease does not specify a duration but does specify rent periods (e.g., monthly), Virginia law presumes the tenancy is periodic — typically month-to-month if rent is paid monthly.
