Month to Month Sample Letter

[Hall92]

Hello All,

I’m looking a for simple 30 day month to month request letter to give to my landlord. My lease is up on the 29th of January and I need to provide my landlord with a letter stating that I would like to terminate my annual lease and switch to a month to month lease. Could someone please help me with this letter. I’m starting to stress over it.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for providing your state name.

We cannot help you draft a letter. You should be able to state in simple terms, however, what you have stated here, make 3 copies, then sign and date it, have your landlord sign and date it, keep a copy, have your landlord keep a copy. Secure one copy.

I find it odd that YOU are being asked to draft anything. That is typically the job of the landlord.

If you are looking at moving out of the area in the future and don't want to be tied to a longer term lease you are free to write the LL a on real paper letter now , telling the LL you will not be able to renew a longer term lease and would like to know now if it is possible to enter a shorter term lease such as month to month with say a 60 day notice from you should you. WHY 60 days , well a lot of landlords don't care to have vacancy during the winter months OR try to offer a higher monthly rent in exchange to be month to month . Your LL doesn't have to accept either but you are free to try and in the end don't just stay on and break a new lease. If you get the letter to the landlord this far ahead there are better odds the LL might be more receptive to shorter term lease with you .

It might be important to note that you do NOT have to pay for a form. You can visit a local landlord/tenant legal aid clinic for FREE help in drafting a letter, if you find you need assistance.

The reason I say this is that there are several commercial sites offering forms for sale.

How about: "My lease is up on the 29th of January. I would like to terminate my annual lease and switch to a month to month lease"

Your lease is up on the 29th. I don't think that you need to state that you want to terminate your lease. I think that you should say something along the lines of: My lease is up on the 29th of January and I would like to stay on a month to month basis.

The OP should review the lease for notice requirements in order to prevent the lease from automatically renewing.

And to see if it automatically reverts to month to month.

Many do.
