    4th post, also by OP.

    Such an agreement would be contrary to the law and would not be valid. In any case, that post doesn't specify what the OP actually agreed to in terms of notice; the term "month-to-month" is commonly used to refer to a periodic tenancy (i.e. one without a fixed term), but that doesn't mean that such a tenancy would require only a month's notice period for either party to end it (even if it were legal to enter into such an agreement before the fact, which it is not).

    It's valid all right. You just mean it is not legally enforceable.

    I agree that it is not legally enforceable. But two people can agree something and then honour that agreement (if it suits them both).

    But many times in this forum landlords (and tenants) are advised to simply talk to the other party to agree something between them... which is great advice. The problems occur when one party does not do this in good faith.
