How is a month-to-month agreement different from a fixed-term lease?

A fixed-term lease runs for a set period (often a year) with an end date. A month-to-month tenancy renews automatically each month and has no end date — it continues until either party gives the required written notice to end it. This template is the month-to-month version; use the standard lease template if you want a fixed term.

What termination-notice period should I put in?

The template has a "Notice to end" field so you can enter the number of days. Thirty days is common, but many states require more (some 60 days, and some require longer notice for tenancies over a year or for the landlord than the tenant). Enter the number your state and local law require — this template is a general starting point, not legal advice.

Does this handle my state's security-deposit and disclosure rules?

No. Deposit caps, interest requirements, and disclosures (like lead-based-paint for pre-1978 housing) vary by state and aren't built in. Fill the amounts that comply with your state, and attach any required disclosure forms separately. Check your state and local requirements or a local attorney if you're unsure.

Is the filled agreement stored or filed anywhere?

No. AttachKit fills and signs the PDF entirely in your browser — the file never leaves your device, and nothing is uploaded, stored, or submitted on your behalf. You download the finished agreement and share it with the tenant yourself.
