Month-to-Month Lease Agreement
R399
Create a month-to-month lease agreement for flexible rental occupation, covering rent, deposit, notice period, inspections, utilities, maintenance, breach, and termination.
A month-to-month lease is used where the parties want flexible rental occupation without a fixed long-term lease. It continues monthly until terminated on proper notice.
South African legal context (2026 checklist)
The agreement should clearly state the notice period and whether notice must run from a particular date. For residential property, the landlord must still follow lawful termination and eviction procedures if the tenant does not vacate.
- South African common law of lease and contract

- Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act 19 of 1998
