An Alabama month-to-month rental agreement is a legally binding document that establishes a monthly tenancy arrangement. The lease automatically renews for another month unless the landlord or the tenant provides the required notice to terminate it.
This agreement benefits tenants and landlords who value flexibility in adjusting their lease terms. It allows either party to make changes as long as they give proper notice. Furthermore, this document can outline agreed-upon details like pet policies, smoking rules, or any other relevant regulations.
