Rental Agreement

Perfect for month-to-month, room rentals, or short-term stays — flexible, and either party can terminate with proper notice.

Why you need one

Flexible month-to-month

Shorter and simpler than a full lease — either party can terminate with proper notice.

Short or long notice

Choose the termination notice that matches your situation (15/30/60 days).

State notice rules handled

Notice requirements vary by state — your drafter matches the default.

Deposits, pets, utilities

Security deposit, pet policy, utilities, and entry rights all covered.
