Residential Lease or Rental Agreement for Month to Month (New York)

This form is a comprehensive month-to-month lease wherein either Landlord or Tenant may typically give one month’s notice to vacate the premises for any reason or no reason at all. Otherwise, the lease simply continues from month to month as long as rent is paid and the lease is not breached. This differs from a “term” lease for a specific time such as 1 year, 6 months, etc, after which “term” the lease ends or may be renewed. During the “term” of the lease, the Tenant may only be evicted for cause (not paying the rent, breaching the lease, etc), and the Tenant is responsible for the entire amount of rent for the lease term, even if Tenant leaves early.
