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 Nevada, 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. Nevada law typically requires a 30-day notice for termination of a month-to-month residential lease. However, for commercial leases, the notice period may vary based on the agreement between the parties or if there is a different stipulation in the lease contract. If a tenant remains in the property and continues to pay rent after the expiration of a fixed-term lease without signing a new lease, a month-to-month tenancy is often presumed to have been established under Nevada law. It's important for both tenants and landlords to understand their rights and obligations under this type of tenancy, including notice requirements and any other terms that may be outlined in the original lease agreement or governed by state statutes.
