Making a Month-to-Month Rental Agreement
A Month-to-Month Lease allows tenants to live in your rental property on a monthly basis, instead of committing to a one-year (or longer) lease. Similar to other lease agreements, a month-to-month rental agreement explains the rights and responsibilities of the landlord(s) and tenant(s) regarding a residential rental property, such as an apartment or a house.
Tenants with short-term or unclear rental needs may prefer a month-to-month lease to a one-year commitment. As a landlord, though, monthly leases may provide less income stability.
Renting month-to-month gives tenants and landlords a flexible end date. The lease is renewed automatically each month and continues indefinitely until either party provides notice. Most states require a 30-day notice.
