转这里问，因为本版的群众都很精明，哈哈哈！
最近在看房子，由于来美国一直住在一处，是找的中介，所以没有什么经验。
今天看了一个广告，打电话过去，了解到是个2-family house，房东家住一楼，二楼是
一室一厅，还有一个小书房，有卫生间和厨房，热水暖气房租都包括，总体觉得还可以
接受。
不过有一点，我不是很明白，房东一上来就要求month to month的lease，通常都要求
至少半年甚至一年的合约阿，如果month to month，有没有可能房东随时不想出租，就
赶我走呢！还有，这反映了房东的什么心态么？除此之外，1 month deposit，这个是
常规，没问题。
我其实挺想按一年租房的，因为比较懒，不想老搬家。所以开始都找中介的no fees广
告了，中介的房子虽然贵点，也都不会很新，但是比较规范化，条件都比较清楚。
看到这个广告当时没在意，电话过去才知道是房东。与房东住的顾虑主要是，怕自己平
时有些小马虎，房东会介意，又或者房东不好相处之类的，当然我本人生活习惯没有什
么问题，只是有点担心，我是女生，一个人独住。
请大家帮我看看这个case吧！如果去看房，需要和房东了解些什么，可以建议她签半年
或者一年吗？那样的话，拒绝flexible的合约，会否对我有什么不利影响？
另外，你们怎么看收佣金的中介房，有些其实挺好的，就是交佣金之后一下子觉得多了
不少！可否negotiate房租或者要求减免佣金？
多谢多谢！！！ | l*****o

因为你住在房东楼上，如果碰到个不好的房客，比如半夜弄出很大的噪音，房东就可以让你搬走。
你如果坚持签一年的合同，房东有可能不租给你，因为人家也要保护自己。
当然你可以试着问问， 也许房东和你交谈后对你感觉挺好的就改变主意了。
没碰到收佣金的房子，佣金一般是房东给的吧？ 只碰到过收申请费的，也不是很多，交就交了。

发帖数: 349 | 3 感谢楼上的！那遇到收一个月房租佣金的房子，可不可以negotiate？
1个月房租，1个月佣金，1个月押金，要三个月的房租才能move in，真的很多
听楼上这样分析，我倒觉得房东month to month的话更象正经人家，比较放心了 | s****l
发帖数: 16457 | 4 没租过交佣金的房子，相当于一个月的房租我觉得太多了。 | l*****o
发帖数: 26631 | 5 我觉得交佣金很没理由，从来没看到过要交佣金的，你确定那个是佣金？

How Does a Month-to-Month Lease Work?
Introduction
A lease is a legally binding contract between a landlord and a tenant, no
matter how long the term of the lease. Therefore, a month-to-month lease has
the same legal weight as an annual or two-year lease.
Terms and Conditions of a Lease
A lease outlines the terms and conditions by which the landlord is willing
to rent the apartment. By signing the lease, the tenant agrees to live by
the terms and conditions as outlined in the lease agreement.
The agreement outlines pertinent information such as the address of the
premises, amount of rent, when the rent is due, late payment charges,
whether or not utilities are included, length of the lease and more. If
there are any sticking points in a lease agreement, they can be modified as
long as both parties agree.
Advantages of a Month-to-Month Lease
The length of the lease depends, on the most part, on the landlord and
tenant relationship. Some landlords prefer to have a month-to-month lease
with a new tenant until they become more comfortable with the tenant. If a
tenant is a poor tenant and does not pay the rent on time and abuses the
property, the landlord is not obligated to endure the tenant's behavior for
longer than 30 days, since the lease is on a month-to-month basis.
There are also occasions when tenants prefer month-to-month leases. Tenants
who are transient, for example, may only want a month-to-month lease. Their
job may require them to move often, so they don't want to be legally
obligated to live out the term of an annual lease.
Disadvantages of a Month-to-Month Lease
Tenants and landlords looking for long-term relationships and security shy
away from month to month leases. Depending on the housing market, sometimes
its difficult to get reliable tenants, while other times its difficult for
tenants to find quality affordable housing.
An annual lease offers security for tenants wanting to remain in an
apartment just as it does for a landlord wishing to keep a good tenant.
The one thing that month-to-month and an annual leases have in common is
that each party has to give the other party ample notice (usually 30 days)
if they wish to terminate the landlord/tenant relationship.
