Does a month-to-month rental agreement cover issues such as landlord and tenant duties the same as does a fixed-term lease agreement?
The rental agreement between landlord and tenant is a legal contract setting out landlord and tenant responsibilities and obligations in the same manner as does a lease agreement for a fixed-term. The landlord is obligated to offer and maintain housing in a safe and sanitary condition under the implied warranty of habitability.
The landlord is obligated to protect the tenant’s rights to quiet enjoyment of the rental premises. The tenant is responsible to keep the rental unit in good condition and to pay rent as set out in the agreement terms and conditions. The time frame of the tenancy is the difference between the two types of landlord-tenant agreements.
