State Specific Question About: VIRGINIA (VA)

Is it legal to put a noise clause in a lease limiting the volume of noise potential tenants can make as well as the time frame they can have parties (which would abide by the local noise ordinances)so that they do not create a regular disturbance through regular weekend kegger parties? --108.28.xx.xx
