is an email lease vaild?

I'm wondering if a lease is vaild over email in virgina 22204. PDF was sent from landlord of a 2 year lease, and I simply replied "we agree". Neither of us signed anything. We've been here for about 3 months and absolutely hate it And have an oppurtunity to live in a house.

It doesn't sound to me like you have a signed lease.

You can't just "move out". Your argument would be that without a signed lease you have a month to month tenancy (I'm assuming you pay your rent on a monthly basis). This requires a WRITTEN notice at least 30 days before the next rent is due to terminate such a lease in Virginia.

And whether you have charges depends on if you leave the rental unit damaged above normal wear and tear.
