An Oregon month-to-month lease agreement defines the terms and conditions of a legally binding rental arrangement whereby a tenant leases a landlord’s residential property on a monthly basis. Unlike standard residential leases, month-to-month agreements do not have a set termination date; instead, they are renewed when the tenant pays rent and can be terminated by either party at any time by giving notice as required by the lease (thirty (30) days minimum). Although the landlord can terminate monthly contracts without cause, it is still recommended that they ask prospective tenants to complete rental applications.
