I generally advise landlords to stick with fixed term leases. Month to month sounds more flexible, but in my experience the opposite is true. Once a fixed term has expired you can get rid of a tenant very easily by simply not renewing and not accepting any rent after the termination date. If the tenant does move out, it's a straightforward process. You could theoretically sign a one month fixed tenancy every month if you wanted to (not that you'd want to sign a new lease every month). Lots of ways to draft a fixed term tenancy that is actually more flexible than a month to month and gives the landlord the ability to get rid of a tenant much faster if the need arises.
