A month-to-month tenancy is a periodic tenancy or lease in which the tenant is given possession of the leased premises with no specific expiration date and agrees to pay the landlord on a monthly basis. A month-to-month tenancy often requires the tenant or the landlord to give the other party 30 days written notice of termination of the lease.

Both residential leases and commercial leases may be month-to-month tenancies. If a residential or commercial tenant remains in the leased premises and continues to pay rent following the expiration of a lease for a longer term, there may be a new month-to-month tenancy created and recognized by law.

In Florida, a month-to-month tenancy is recognized for both residential and commercial properties. This type of tenancy does not have a specific expiration date and continues until either the tenant or the landlord decides to terminate the agreement. The tenant agrees to pay rent on a monthly basis. To end a month-to-month tenancy, Florida law generally requires that the party wishing to terminate the tenancy must provide the other party with at least 15 days' notice before the end of any monthly period, as per Florida Statute 83.57. This notice must be in writing. It's important to note that this differs from the commonly assumed 30-day notice period. If a tenant remains in the property and continues to pay rent after the expiration of a longer-term lease without signing a new one, a month-to-month tenancy may be established by law. Landlords and tenants should be aware of the terms of their lease agreements and any applicable local regulations that may impose additional requirements.
