Large woody vines growing on garage?

So at my rented house I noticed half of th back yard is this THICK vine. It hasn't quite grown leaves though. It's budding so it is not dead. But the whole garage I covered it them. They are woody and unkept. Brown branches that drape and have these corkscrew branches, making me think maybe it is a fruit vine? Anyone know types of vines or where I can find out?

    Virginia Creeper, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, is a deciduous vine that gets quite woody. The leaves are palmately compound, composed of five leaflets and turn deep red to burgundy in the Fall.

    The State you live in might help in finding out what grows in your area.

    In the Southern States you have Kudzu vines, and these are quite thick.

    In the Northern States you have wild grapes and ivy growing.

    A pictures would be very helpful in identifying the plant.

    It could be cow itch, some type of grape, honey suckle etc. They are apparently of no use. Cut them off at the ground and pull them from the wall and burn them.

    Virginia Creeper? It dies back in Canada and grows new again each season.
