I think all leases should be month-to-month. Making it easier to move would help renters shop around, move if their landlord is shit, move if their neighbors are shit, move if they get a new job, etc.
- That would just cause rents to go up because landlords wouldn't have the security of the contract. You want rents to be even higher than they are now?
