It should also contain verbiage about termination/notice. 

Then it has an owner statement that the rights given to the owner by the agreement are cumulative in addition to VA laws current or future any statement or promise won't be binding unless if it is in writing.one other part is default stating any violation will give the right to evict the tenant and take possession of the residence(same process as VA law)they stated they will take legal action, did claim rights on this agreement are cumulative to the law however VA 225-55.01 does state you can opt out however and you have to expressively opt out of VRLTAIm not starting off the lease by stating to take legal action if rent is not paid and stating the rights of this agreement are cumulative in addition to the law. it is contradicting by saying any breach or violation of the contract in the default section will give her the right to terminate the contract evict and regain possession(does not specify any time frame) To me this is not clearly expressively opting out of VRLTA because she still has those rights under that act by following the VRLTA process.

You can not terminate a lease without legal justification.

Am I even able to terminate his lease agreement early, on the grounds of this new rule being passed?

Many of these issues come about due to not filing the proper termination form or extension requests.
