Landlord / Tenant

month-to-month tenancy

A month-to-month tenancy is a periodic tenancy or lease in which the tenant is given possession of the leased premises with no specific expiration date and agrees to pay the landlord on a monthly basis. A month-to-month tenancy often requires the tenant or the landlord to give the other party 30 days written notice of termination of the lease.

Both residential leases and commercial leases may be month-to-month tenancies. If a residential or commercial tenant remains in the leased premises and continues to pay rent following the expiration of a lease for a longer term, there may be a new month-to-month tenancy created and recognized by law.

In Arizona, a month-to-month tenancy is recognized for both residential and commercial properties. This type of tenancy does not have a fixed end date and continues until either the tenant or the landlord provides the other with a written notice of termination. Typically, Arizona law requires a 30-day notice period for termination of a month-to-month lease. This notice must be given before the rent is due to be effective for the following rental period. If a tenant stays beyond the expiration of a fixed-term lease and continues to pay rent, and the landlord accepts this rent, a month-to-month tenancy is often established under Arizona law. It's important for both parties to understand that the terms of the original lease may still apply to the month-to-month tenancy, unless they agree to new terms.
