early termination by landlord in lease?

Question

Given the times, has anyone added to their lease a clause that allows the landlord to terminate a lease with 30 days notice without cause? Does it also allow the tenant to do the same? It seems like a reasonable alternative to a month to month lease, without it being a month to month lease.

If either party can terminate with 30 days notice, it’s not an alternative to a month-to-month agreement. It is a month-to-month agreement.

Lenders want to see a year lease To better qualify for what?

I've never had a lender ask what sort of lease duration / structure I'll use for a property I'm planning to purchase. You should definitely talk to your lender again and you may want to talk to a few more lenders

I can't imagine anyone who would sign what it sounds like you are trying to get at, which is a one sided lease where the tenant signs on for 6 months or 12 months etc but you as the landlord can cancel the lease with 30 day notice for no reason. Lot of uncertainty for the tenant

It seems like you just need a month to month lease

Even if you found someone who would be willing to agree to the one sided terms you mention (which you're doing to protect yourself which I get), you can still tell the tenants your giving them 30 day notice to vacate and they can tell you to go pound sand and make you evict them to get them out. So not sure what protection or benefits this adds

Have you seen a lease in the former, meaning with only one party having that option? Would it apply during the pandemic?
