Notice to Vacate and Rent Due by Tenant in VA

[Dominic Scatto]

Hello,

A tenant will be giving their required 30-day notice to vacate in the middle of the month and is inquiring about if they'll be responsible for the full month or if it will be prorated. I've attempted to read the exact laws required here in VA, but I haven't been able to find anything exact.

These are the exact codes I've found: Va. Code Ann. §§ 55.1-1204, 55.1-1253 (2020)

The gist I've gathered is it's up to me, whether I'll accept partial or not, but I wanted to gather some input from the wonderful BP community to see I'm interpreting it correctly or not.

Unfortunately, there's nothing exact in my current lease and this is a first for me. Going forward, I'm definitely adding a clause that leaves no room for interpretation. 

Thanks for the help.
