Month-to-Month Rental Agreement

Who this document is for

• A landlord who wants flexibility rather than a fixed end date
• A tenancy continuing after a fixed-term lease has expired
• A short or uncertain arrangement — a property being sold, a job posting, a family situation

When to use something else

Using the wrong document is the most expensive mistake in this category, because the paperwork looks complete while doing the wrong thing. This is not the document for:

• A fixed end date — use a Residential Lease, which sets a term and an expiry
• Renting one room in a shared home — use a Room Rental Agreement
• Changing a lease already running — use a Lease Amendment

What the generated document contains

• Parties and the rented property
• Rent amount, due day and payment method
• The notice period required to end the tenancy
• Security deposit terms, including no deposit at all
• Utilities, pets, smoking and occupancy terms
• Signature block for landlord and tenant

State and local requirements

Requirements for this document differ by state, and sometimes by city. Notice periods, deposit limits, permitted fees and required disclosures are all set locally, and a number that is correct in one state can be wrong in the next one.

This page does not state those figures. The questionnaire asks you for the values that apply to your tenancy and prints what you enter, so the document reflects your situation rather than a national average. Start with the state lease pages for the jurisdiction you are renting in.
