Tennessee Month-to-Month Lease Agreement
A Tennessee month-to-month lease agreement establishes a periodic tenancy, where tenants rent a room, apartment unit, condominium, or house monthly. As long as the tenant pays rent at the beginning of each month, the agreement renews automatically. Either party can terminate the lease so long they give the necessary notice. While designed for short-term leasing, these monthly leases can persist for years if neither the landlord nor tenant terminates it.
This contract is a variation of the standard residental lease agreement. It contains many similar sections and conditions, including utilities, rent amount, security deposits, repairs, guests, parking, and pets.
