Best Answer

A lease holds a binding agreement between the landlord and tenant for the duration of the term of the lease. If a tenant is renting the property or unit on a month-to-month basis then the landlord could make changes to the terms of the month-to-month tenancy at any time, given proper notice (for month-to-month it would be 30 days before the next rent is due). This could mean a sudden rent hike or other changes like no longer allowing pets.

Signing the lease binds both parties to the agreement and makes the document itself (notwithstanding it's various clauses and sections) enforceable in a court of law.
