MONTH-TO-MONTH LEASE AGREEMENT TEMPLATE FAQ
What is a month-to-month lease agreement?
A Month-to-Month Lease Agreement is a rental contract that renews automatically each month until either the landlord or tenant gives proper notice to end the tenancy. It provides flexibility while still setting clear rules for rent, deposits, utilities, and property use.
How much notice is required to end a month-to-month lease?
Notice requirements vary by jurisdiction and sometimes by how long the tenant has lived there. Many places use 30 days, but some require more. This template includes a customizable notice period so you can match local rules.
Can rent be increased in a month-to-month lease?
Often yes, but landlords typically must provide advance written notice and follow local rent-control rules (if any). This template includes a rent increase notice section.
What should be included?
Key terms include: parties, premises, rent amount and due date, security deposit, utilities, maintenance, rules, entry notice, late fees, termination notice, and signatures. This template is written in plain language and includes common optional clauses.
Do you need a move-in checklist?
It’s strongly recommended. A move-in condition checklist helps prevent deposit disputes. This template includes an optional checklist reference.
