A monthly lease allows tenants to rent on a monthly basis with 30 days notice to vacate, providing flexibility. Landlords have the advantage of being able to raise rent or sell the property but may have difficulty assessing cash flow and finding new tenants.
A monthly lease is a lease or lease agreement under which the lessee is entitled to the property on a monthly basis only. This is in contrast to longer lease agreements, such as an annual lease. The tenant has the right to vacate the property with 30 days notice, while the landlord also has the right to change the terms of the lease or request the tenant leave within 30 days.
Some tenants prefer a monthly rental to get more flexibility. For example, when a person is in a monthly lease situation, she is not obligated to stay in her apartment for the duration of a one-year lease. You may move to another location or leave the apartment without penalty, provided you give the landlord 30 days written notice of your intention to vacate. With a longer lease, if the tenant wishes to leave earlier, he may lose his security deposit and may be held legally responsible for the rent the landlord loses due to his early departure.
There are both advantages and disadvantages for a landlord to rent per month. The main advantage is that the landlord is not tied to a rent. This means that if rents go up in his area, he can raise the rent. If he receives a lucrative offer to sell the property or a better offer for a higher rent, he is free to accept the offer and evict the tenant, provided he too provides the required 30 days written notice.
However, even the monthly rent has significant disadvantages for the landlord. First, the landlord cannot count on having the rental income of that given piece of property for the longer period of time that they could if they had a longer lease. This makes it more difficult for him to assess the expected cash flow for the building and can create problems for him if the rental market collapses and the tenant moves out and cannot find a tenant to take over the apartment.
Also, if a landlord rents an apartment or piece of land under a monthly lease, they may be required to spend more time frequently looking for new tenants. If the landlord hires a manager to find new tenants, this can increase his wage costs as he has to pay the manager to spend the time finding new tenants. Additionally, operating costs can increase in other ways as well. For example, the costs of marketing the apartment and cleaning the apartment when new tenants move in can be high.
