Month-to-Month

Read a random definition: speech-plus

A quick definition of Month-to-Month:

Month-to-Month: A month-to-month agreement is when someone rents a place to live for one month at a time. There is no long-term contract, and either the landlord or the tenant can end the agreement with 30 days' notice. This type of agreement is often used for renting apartments or houses.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Month-to-month means a rental agreement that is renewed every month. This term is commonly used in the context of renting a property, where the tenant pays rent on a monthly basis without a fixed-term lease. In this type of agreement, either the landlord or the tenant can terminate the tenancy at any time, usually with a 30-day notice and subject to state laws.

For example, if a tenant signs a month-to-month rental agreement, they are committing to renting the property for one month at a time. At the end of each month, the agreement is automatically renewed for another month unless either party gives notice to terminate the agreement.

In some states, month-to-month agreements are also known as "tenancies at will." This means that the tenant has the right to occupy the property as long as they continue to pay rent and follow the terms of the agreement, but the landlord can terminate the tenancy at any time with proper notice.

Overall, month-to-month agreements offer flexibility for both landlords and tenants, but they also come with some risks and uncertainties. Landlords may have difficulty finding new tenants if the current tenant decides to leave on short notice, while tenants may have to deal with sudden rent increases or changes in the terms of the agreement.

Wait windy you get a stipend just for living in Alaska

@texaslawhopefully: yep! it’s called the permanent fund dividend
Oh wow that’s very interesting. I’m guessing it’s fundable because so few people live there
windyMagician
12:01
no, it’s a sovereign wealth fund from the incredible amount of oil royalties Alaska has collected over the years
Right, that makes sense, but I assume if more people lived there it wouldn’t be sustainable for dividend payments to go out?
windyMagician
12:02
Alaska’s population used to be bigger and the dividend payment was also bigger. it all depends on the returns of the fund in a given year. It’s enshrined in the state constitution so it would be incredibly difficult to get rid of it even if it was $1

12:03
also, postsecondary education is a qualifying absence so i can still get my dividend even while in law school
Ahh I see. And so it applies to any resident even ones who are out of state at the moment?
windyMagician
12:05
you must maintain ties to the state, come back for at least 72 hours a year, have intent to return to Alaska, and not establish residency in any other state
windyMagician
12:05
and be on a qualifying absence. military and education is okay, being out of the state working is not
babycat
12:05
so if you went to a state school you wouldn’t establish residency there to be in state?

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: if FO taught me anything you mag dump
babycat
12:06
I was wondering about that too bc I would prefer to maintain my current residency
windyMagician
12:08
@babycat: correct. accepting in state tuition in another state is actually a really common and controversial reason that ppl get denied dividends

Being military I moved ALOT and would establish residency in the states that had no income tax or other tax benefits. I would imagine switching to instate tuition would save significant money

i maintained my FL residency but the only advantage is that i get reduced price theme park tickets
I think it depends. For a lot of the top schools, the diff between in state and out of state tuition is just a few grand
babycat
12:11
I have a non-financial interest in maintaining residency but might consider it if it’s a significant amount of money
LyricalLikeDragon
12:12
For a lot of schools I've seen it can be like 10k/year
LyricalLikeDragon
12:12
For me that's p significant
12:12
in the event drumpf does indeed 'drill baby drill' I would wager Windy will get a better dividend years following this one
BulbasaurNoLikeCardio
12:12
$30k in debt with interest is a fat chunk of change
@LyricalLikeDragon: oh yeah, that’s fair. I just meant for schools like UVA, Michigan, etc it’s literally like a 3k difference which considering it’d take a year to establish residency, doesn’t seem worth it

I honestly feel lucky to have my GI Bill, if I could I would adopt all of you so you can get a monthly stipend while in school too
Yeah, that is a pretty sweet fucking deal
BulbasaurNoLikeCardio
12:20
Because my Vet status with the VA, anyone I adopt before they turn 18 and becomes a dependent gets a 36 month GI bill to burns so my daughter will be getting pretty set up too
12:20
The GI bill stipend would make living in NYC suck a little less

That BAH has got to be high probably like $3kish a month
