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 Nebraska, 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 possession of the property after the expiration of a longer-term lease and continues to pay rent. For both residential and commercial leases, Nebraska law typically requires either the landlord or the tenant to provide a 30-day written notice to terminate a month-to-month tenancy. This notice must be given 30 days before the rental due date to be effective for the following rental period. It's important to note that local ordinances may impose additional requirements, and the terms of the written lease agreement may also stipulate different notice periods or conditions for termination. Therefore, it is advisable for landlords and tenants to review their lease agreements and consult with an attorney to understand the specific terms and legal obligations related to month-to-month tenancies in Nebraska.
