Landlords should use a Month-to-Month Lease Agreement when they wish to rent property (whether it's an apartment, residence or condo) to a Tenant on a month-to-month basis. This type of agreement should be in writing and should be signed by both landlord and tenant. A Month-to-Month lease should include all the terms and conditions of the rental to which the parties have agreed and should set forth everyone's responsibilities and rights. Some states require the landlord and tenant to conduct an inspection of the premises. A joint inspection form (included with this lease) is very helpful and can help avoid problems later on.

This New York Month-to-Month Lease Agreement packet includes everything necessary for a Landlord to enter into a month-to-month lease with a Tenant, including the Lease, the Move-In and Move-Out Inspection Checklist and more.
