A Texas month-to-month lease agreement is used by landlords to create a binding agreement with tenants for the monthly rental of residential property. The document must include the tenancy start date, cost of monthly rent, fees for late/failed payments, the security deposit (if any), and the division of utility payments.

Under this contract, the tenant renews their tenancy with each monthly rental payment and can end it with notice to the landlord. This gives landlords the freedom to terminate the agreement at any time without cause and tenants may terminate the lease at will. Due to the temporary nature of these contracts, the rental property will often come fully or partially furnished to accommodate a quick turnover of tenants.
