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 Indiana, a month-to-month tenancy is recognized by law and can be established either explicitly through an agreement or by implication when a tenant remains in the property after the expiration of a longer-term lease and continues to pay rent. This type of tenancy does not have a fixed end date and continues until either the landlord or the tenant decides to terminate it. Under Indiana law, either party must provide the other with a 30-day written notice to terminate a month-to-month tenancy. This requirement for notice aims to give the other party sufficient time to make alternative arrangements. The rules governing month-to-month tenancies in Indiana apply to both residential and commercial leases. It is important for both landlords and tenants to understand their rights and obligations under this arrangement, and they may wish to consult with an attorney for specific legal advice or if they encounter issues within their tenancy.
