A Florida month-to-month lease agreement is a type of residential property contract that binds a landlord and tenant together in a monthly rental arrangement. It is a useful lease agreement for landlords that wish to maintain flexibility with their rental property. It is also commonly used at the end of a one-year lease so the parties can extend their arrangement on a more temporary basis.
The provisions contained in a month-to-month lease agreement are for the most part identical to a standard lease; i.e., the tenant must pay rent on time, maintain the condition of the premises, pay the utilities and other bills, and uphold the rules and regulations established by the landlord and the rental laws of Florida. Unlike a standard lease, a monthly agreement allows either party to terminate the contract without cause as long as the proper notice period is exercised.
