Final answer:

A listing agreement may carry over on a month-to-month basis after the initial lease period. Termination requires a 30-day written notice from either party, with just cause if required by law. The resident must vacate and return all property, or may face extra rent and damages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Under typical circumstances, a listing agreement may carry over month to month after the initial leasing period has expired. Termination of this rolling or month-to-month agreement can be initiated by either party, provided that they give a 30-day written notice. In some cases, just cause must be provided for the termination, and it should be explicitly stated in the notice. When the resident decides to vacate, the premises should be left clear of all personal belongings, with any provided keys or property returned to the owner. If the resident remains in the property beyond the agreed termination date without owner approval or fails to remove their possessions, the resident may be charged additional months of rent and could be liable for damages which may impact the owner's ability to secure new renters.
