Month-to-Month Rental Agreement
A Month-to-Month Rental Agreement is a lease for a residential or commercial property that automatically renews each month until either party ends it with proper notice. Use this for an open-ended rental with no fixed end date, where either side can end the tenancy with proper notice instead of waiting out a fixed lease term.
