Do your landlords have to notify you BEFORE you are put on a month to month lease?

No. Generally there is either a lease or a tenancy at will, which is a month-to-month tenancy. If you have a lease for a period of time and that period is up, the rental agreement automatically converts to a month-to-month agreement, unless you have an agreement on a new lease period.


What if one doesn't have a lease?

Then it's a month-to-month (or week to week) tenancy.


If you did not renew your lease and live month to month do you still have to go by the old lease?

No. Once the lease has been fufilled and you then go to a month by month tenancy, you are no longer bound by the old lease. BUT, your landlord may try to impose some of the standards that were included in the lease, like for example, no pets. Many people, after the lease has been completed and they go on to a month to month tenancy, try to get animals, as they are no longer under their lease. I have seen this stipulation carried over in some cases still from the lease as "general property" rules when challenged in a court. Landlord claimed his rental property was "pet free" no matter what type of tenancy you had. But basically, you are no longer bound by that lease and the stipulations in it.


Do you have to give notice if you arent on a lease?

If there is no written lease, then you have a month-to-month tenancy at will, and the notice required - from either side - is one full rental period.


What is a month to month lease?

Well, technically, it's impossible. A tenancy is either a month-to-month tenanccy at will, or a lease for a term. With a tenancy-at-will, either party can cancel with a full month notice. With a lease, the contract runs for a set period, usually a year. Some leases renew themselves automatically if notice to terminate is not given. Others just terminate naturally.


Can a landlord give you a notice to move for talking to much?

Yes. In a month-to-month tenancy at will, either party can terminate the tenancy for a reason, or for no reason. In a lease, the landlord can terminate the tenancy for several reasons, including too much noise.


Can a landlord make you sign another lease one month after a lease was already signed?

Oddly enough, it depends on the term of the lease. If it's a month-to-month tenancy then yes, he can. If not, the lease is effective at time of signing and may not be changed without mutual consent.


Can you end your rental lease when you did not sign a lease renewal?

Most of the time leases are automatically renewed. Otherwise it's a month-to-month tenancy and you can move out any time with proper notice.


What is the contract between a landlord and a tenant for renting a house called?

It would be called a Residential Rental Agreement, Residential Lease, Month-to-Month Tenancy Agreement, or something to that effect. The name varies widely.

Not without a reason, like some kind of a breach by the landlord.


How many days of notification does a landlord have to give before raising the rent?

Yes. If the rent is on a written lease then the lease must expire, and the landlord must give at least 30-days notice before the lease expires. If the rent is on a month-to-month basis, then the landlord must give a 30-day notice before the next rent is due. If the rent is on a weekly basis then the notice must be given at least one week before the rent is due.
