An Indiana Month-To-Month Rental Agreement is a legal contract between a landlord and tenant, which allows the tenant to rent a property without committing to a fixed lease term. This kind of agreement provides flexibility for both parties involved.
The tenant pays a monthly rent payment, along with other utilities, and the agreement only terminates when either party gives at least one month’s notice or the time period mentioned in the agreement, whichever is longer. The landlord can also increase the rent or make any other adjustments to the lease with standard notice.
Legal Requirements for Month-to-Month Leases
- Minimum Termination Period: The notice to terminate the lease by either party is required to be given one month in advance [1] .
- Rent Increase: State law does not restrict landlords’ discretion to raise rent; it is recommended that they give a 30-day notice.
Required Lease Disclosures
- Identification
- Flood Hazard Area Disclosure
- Carbon Monoxide & Smoke Detector Addendum
- Lead-Based Hazards Disclosure

Indiana Month-to-Month Eviction
In Indiana, landlords can terminate month-to-month leases by providing a 30-day written notice, allowing for eviction without cause after the notice period. This applies whether the eviction is for non-payment of rent, lease violations, or no-fault reasons.
The Indiana Eviction Process details the steps for evicting a tenant.
