An Arizona month-to-month lease agreement is a contract executed by a landlord and a tenant to establish a periodic rental arrangement that renews monthly. Many of the terms and conditions contained in this agreement are also found in standard lease agreements and other rental contracts. By signing the document, the tenant agrees to maintain the premises, pay rent on time, obey the landlord’s rules, and adhere to all rental laws of the state of Arizona. The main difference between a month-to-month lease and a standard lease is that the month-to-month renews each month and continues in perpetuity while the standard lease is a fixed-term lease. Either party can end the rental arrangement without cause as long as they provide the other party at least thirty (30) days’ notice.
