On a month to month lease how much time a tenant has to give before moving out?

One full rental period. So, if the rent is due on the first, the notice should be given by the last day of the month, to move at the end of the next month. If the rent is due on the 15th, notice by August 14 means move by September 14. If the rent isn't paid, that's a different notice, depending on the laws of the state.

What happens to a lease if the tenant goes to hospice care?
I'm no lawyer but...here is my understanding of the situation. While the tenant is alive, they (or the person legally acting for them) are responsible for the financial obligations and the lease is in force. If the tenant is not returning, you should consider terminating the lease and moving out. If it is a month-to-month lease, this part is easy. If it is a fixed-term lease, investigate whether the landlord will agree to terminating the lease early.
One month into lease one co-tenant moves out does this void the original lease?
Of course not. A lease is a legal contract that is enforceable in court. Moving out doesn't terminate the lease. When you sign a lease you are responsible for the full duration of the lease. You may need to sue your co-tenant. You should consult with an attorney or with a landlord-tenant agency in your town.
Without a written lease is it a month to month lease?
No, without a written lease, the landlord can only evict the same as a month to month lease agreement (30 days) but the protections to the tenant and landlord are not stated.
If a landlord is stalling on renewing lease what are tenants rights?
Generally none. If the tenant continues in possession once the lease term has expired he would be deemed a tenant at will, or a month-to-month tenant (if the rent is paid monthly) or a week-to-week tenant (if the rent is paid weekly). The frequency of rent payments determines whether the tenant is month to month or week to week, and also the notice the landlord must give before requiring the tenant to move. If its month to month the landlord must generally give one weeks notice to quit if he wants the tenants out. If you would feel more secure with a lease you might have to move. Many people never sign a lease after the first one expires and continue on a month to month basis.
Is it legal to enter into a lease with a new tenant before the old tenant completes the existing lease?
In general, you can grant a lease whenever you like, but the lease can't begin until after the existing one expires. You must take care to give the required notice to the old tenant, otherwise the lease will probably automatically become a month-to-month tenancy. Caution. This answer is for residential properties; rules for commercial properties vary from place to place.
Can the landlord change terms of the original lease after the lease becomes a month to month?
Yes, assuming the tenant is given proper notice, which on a month to month lease is typically 30 days.
Can a landlord sue for future rent in Maryland?
Yes, a landlord in Maryland can sue for future rent if the tenant breaks the lease agreement. However, the landlord has a duty to mitigate damages by making reasonable efforts to find a new tenant. If the landlord finds a new tenant, the tenant who broke the lease agreement will only be responsible for the rent until the new tenant moves in.
Can a lanlord evict a tenant giving one weeks notice?
This depends on several factors, including whether the eviction is because of a serious or repititious lease violation, whether there is a written lease, and if the rent is on a month-to-month or week-to-week basis. Did the Landlord give the one-week notice or did the Tenant? Is there a written lease? Then the answer is probably "no," unless it's because of a serious or repititious violation of the terms of the lease. If there is no violation involved and there is a written lease, then the landlord or tenant must give at least a 30-day notice before the lease expires. The tenant cannot move out during the lease period unless the Landlord agrees to allow such. If there is no lease and the rent is month-to-month, then the landlord or tenant must give at least 30 days of notice before the next rent is due. If there is no lease and the rent is on a week-to-week basis, then one week's notice is given by either side, before the next rent is due. He can also give a week's notice if there is a lease and that lease is being seriously violated by the Tenant. Now, a week's notice, or whatever notice is given, is not an automatic right of the landlord to force you out of your home: he must follow proper eviction proceedings.
When the lease agreement ends can you ask the tenant to leave if I do not wish to renew the lease?
Yes. You should do it carefully, however, so that there is no appearance of the lease continuing on a month-to-month basis. One month before the end of the lease, send a written letter to the tenant stating that you intend to terminate the lease on its expiring date. Do not accept any rent money for periods after the end of the lease or you have automatically renewed the lease on a month-to-month basis (the details depend on your jurisdiction, I am thinking of California as I answer this). You are entitled to show the unit to prospective tenants as long as you give the required notice and do it during approved or normal business hours.
Can a landlord keep a tenants securtity deposit even if the tenant never signed a lease and never moved into the property?
Was the lease supposed to be a month-to-month lease or for a year or longer?
How much notice does a tenant have to get rid of a pet?
If the pet is included on the lease then the landlord cannot give the tenant such an order until the lease term expires. If this is a month-to-month tenancy then the landlord has to give the tenant a 30 day notice of such before the next rent is due.
What to do if a tenant decides not to move into a property a few hours before they are due to?
If there was a lease, the landlord has an obligation to try to rent it. Until then, the tenant owes the rent. If this was a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord should keep the first month's rent, and return the security deposit and last-month's rent, if any.
