Weekly	1-4 weeks	High	Moderate per day	Temporary housing, work assignments
Monthly	3-12+ months	Low	Most economical per day	Long-term residents

How a Weekly Tenancy Is Created

Interestingly, you don’t always need a signed agreement to create a week-to-week tenancy. Under the laws of many states, the rental period is determined by how often rent is paid .

For example, Florida law states that if a rental agreement contains no provision about the duration of the tenancy, the duration is determined by the periods for which the rent is payable. If rent is payable weekly, then the tenancy is from week to week .

Similarly, Arizona law specifies that unless the rental agreement fixes a definite term, the tenancy shall be week-to-week in the case of a roomer who pays weekly rent .

This means that even without a formal written contract, accepting weekly rent payments can legally establish a week-to-week tenancy.
