Free West Virginia Rental Agreement

Use our West Virginia Lease Agreement to rent out your property.

Updated November 6, 2020 | Legally reviewed by Susan Chai, Esq.

A West Virginia (WV) Lease Agreement is a binding document between a landlord and a tenant, written in accordance with West Virginia’s landlord-tenant laws. The landlord agrees to rent all (or a portion of) their property to a tenant for a fee, and the tenant agrees to the lease agreement’s terms and conditions.

1. What to Include in a West Virginia Residential Lease Agreement

Landlords in all states, including West Virginia, are required by Federal law to include essential details in their rental/lease agreements, specifically:

  1. Tenant/Landlord Details: names and current addresses of both the tenant and landlord
  2. Premises: the address of the premises
  3. Pets: allowances and prohibitions
  4. Health Hazards: any known health hazards or risks
  5. Rent Specifics: the amount of rent and security deposit due, payment methods, and more

States differ in aspects of leasing and rental requirements. Familiarize yourself with West Virginia’s landlord-tenant laws to protect your legal and financial rights.

2. West Virginia Landlord and Tenant Laws

West Virginia imposes specific and distinct requirements for landlords and tenants when executing a lease or rental agreement.
