A Minnesota month-to-month lease agreement is used by landlords to rent residential property to a tenant on a monthly basis. The agreement outlines important lease terms including the rent payment, utility fees, and security deposit. Following the initial month of tenancy, the lease renews for an additional month with the payment of rent. The renewal process continues indefinitely until either party chooses to terminate.
To end the lease, the landlord or tenant must provide the other with proper notice (see below). Unlike a fixed-term lease, a month-to-month agreement may be terminated for any or no reason. The benefit of this arrangement is the ability to end the agreement at a date that is optimal for the terminating party, as opposed to waiting until the expiration of the lease term.
