Can landlord terminate lease without any reason on a month to month lease in Indiana?
Current tenant is on month to month lease. Do I need a valid reason to terminate the lease and if so, how many days? 30 or 90 days?
Tenant one year lease ended and currently on month to month lease.

In Indiana, you do not need to provide any reason to non-renew a lease. (Actually, it is probably safer to provide no reason.) The length of the lease is not a factor.
We always provide at least 60 days notice, but I'm not sure that is legally required. We rarely have MtM renters because we charge a $400 premium after a lease goes MtM. If the resident plans to stay a while, they are asking us about a lease. If they just needed one more month, they might extend and pay the premium.
I mention that, because if you are OK with the resident and just want them to sign a lease, tell them the MtM price will go up effective September 1, and is $400 more per month. Alternatively, they can sign a new lease and save a lot of money.
