Definition: Month-to-month tenancies refer to tenants without leases who pay rent on a monthly basis. 2. Termination by Either Party: Either party can terminate a month-to-month tenancy by providing at least one month notice before the term expires. 3. Rent Increase: A landlord cannot unilaterally raise the rent for a month-to-month tenant without their consent. If the tenant does not agree, the landlord can terminate the tenancy with appropriate notice. 4. New York City Regulations: In NYC, landlords must serve tenants a written termination notice with a minimum of 30 days notice before the term's end. Non-compliance may lead to eviction proceedings. 5. Eviction Process: A termination notice alone does not grant the landlord permission to evict the tenant. The landlord must initiate an eviction proceeding in court and secure a favorable ruling.
