Washington Month to Month Lease Agreement: What Is It?

In Washington, a month to month lease agreement is a written agreement between a tenant and a landlord who come to a mutual agreement on the terms of a tenant renting a property or unit for a short period of time. These types of contracts are common, especially after the expiration of year-long lease contracts and will renew automatically at the beginning of each month until canceled by the lessor or the lessee. Though month to month lease contracts can last for just 30 days, its terms must still be followed by both parties just as both parties would follow a year-long lease. Once either party wishes to terminate the agreement they must provide a written termination letter, also known as a notice to quit, in sufficient time according to state law.
