A Washington month-to-month lease agreement is a legally binding arrangement between a landlord and tenant whereby the tenant rents the landlord’s residential property on a monthly basis. Landlords will often use this type of agreement to allow tenants to temporarily hold over their tenancy after a fixed-term lease has run out. The contract has no pre-established end date and continues as long as the tenant makes their monthly rental payments. Both the landlord and tenant have the ability to terminate the lease without cause by giving the other party notice a minimum of twenty (20) days before the next payment date.
Notice for terminating (§ 59.18.200(1)(a)) – Twenty (20) Days
