What is a Monthly Lease Agreement?
A Monthly Lease Agreement (month-to-month tenancy) is a rental agreement that renews each month rather than running for a fixed year. It gives both landlord and tenant flexibility — either can end it with proper notice — while still setting out rent, responsibilities and house rules in writing.
When it suits you
- Short-term or flexible rentals.
- Tenants who are not ready to commit to a full year.
- Landlords who want the option to adjust terms more frequently.
What to include
- Landlord and tenant details.
- Property and monthly rent.
- Notice period to end the tenancy.
- Deposit, utilities and responsibilities.
