Month to Month lease agreement
Can a landlord require a sixty (60) day notice to vacate in a month to month lease agreement? If so, does this contradict the definition of a month to month agreement?

Re: Month to Month lease agreement
If it's in a signed written lease, yes. Typically, a "month-to-month" lease is used to describe the situation after a written lease has expired or where there is only an oral agreement b/t the landlord and tenant. In those situations, tenant need only give one month's notice, at least one full pay period in advance, in order to terminate the lease. However, if there is a written lease agreement that requires 60 days notice, the written lease governs the parties' responsibilities. If you need further assistance, feel free to give me a call.
