An Arkansas month-to-month lease agreement allows for a flexible, at-will rental arrangement without a fixed end date. Ideal for those who prefer adaptability over long-term commitments, it automatically renews monthly until either party ends it with proper notice. While more flexible than fixed-term leases, it still must comply with Arkansas landlord-tenant laws and disclosure requirements.

Required Landlord Disclosures (3)
When landlords and tenants sign a new lease, they must disclose certain information to tenants. For Arkansas, this includes:
- Lead paint: According to federal law, landlords must disclose the presence or knowledge of any lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards on all properties built before 1978
- Landlord name and address: According to the Arkansas Landlord/Tenant handbook, the landlord must list the name and address of the person responsible for managing the rental property within the lease agreement.
- Move-in checklist: Upon move-in, the landlord must inform the tenant of any known issues with the heating, air conditioning, plumbing, electricity, roof, or drinking water systems (Ark. Code § 18-17-502).
Required Notice to Terminate Month-to-Month Agreement
Since there is no specific end date for an Arkansas month-to-month lease agreement, state law requires landlords and tenants to provide written notice to the other party to terminate the rental contract.
Required notice for the landlord: At least 30 days of written notice.
Required notice for the tenant: At least 30 days of written notice (Ark. Code § 18-17-704).
Rent Increase Laws
Since no laws mandate rent control in Arkansas, landlords can raise the rent any amount they see fit, but there are limitations around when they can do so.
For fixed-term leases, landlords cannot raise the rent until after the lease term expires unless a clause in the lease explicitly allows for it. For Arkansas month-to-month lease agreements, landlords must give tenants at least one month of notice before the rent increase goes into effect.
