West Virginia Lease Renewal Agreement

This Lease Renewal Agreement is built with West Virginia as the governing state. These are the West Virginia landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

West Virginia rules at a glance

West Virginia rules for a Lease Renewal Agreement
Rent-increase noticeNo specific statute; a periodic tenancy can be ended on one full rental period’s notice, so give at least that much notice of an increaseW. Va. Code §37-6-5
Rent controlNone — no state or local rent regulation
Rent increasesDuring a fixed-term lease, rent can change only if the lease allows it. For a periodic tenancy, West Virginia has no dedicated rent-increase statute; because the landlord could otherwise end the tenancy on one full rental period’s notice (§37-6-5), an increase should be given with at least that much written notice.
Month-to-month terminationOne full rental period (one month) before the end of a periodW. Va. Code §37-6-5

Rent, late fees & rent increases

Rent amount, due date, and grace period are matters of contract in West Virginia. There is no statewide rent control statute, and no West Virginia city has adopted rent control.

  • Late fees — No statute caps late fees. The deposit statute refers to “reasonable charges for late payment of rent specified in the rental agreement” (§37-6A-2(b)(1)), so a late fee should be written into the lease and kept reasonable.
  • Rent increases — During a fixed-term lease, rent can change only if the lease allows it. For a periodic tenancy, West Virginia has no dedicated rent-increase statute; because the landlord could otherwise end the tenancy on one full rental period’s notice (§37-6-5), an increase should be given with at least that much written notice.

West Virginia Lease Renewal Agreement FAQs

How much notice is required to end a month-to-month lease in West Virginia?

One full rental period before the end of a period — so a full month for a monthly tenancy. Year-to-year tenancies need three months’ written notice, and the lease can set a different period by agreement (§37-6-5).
