What landlords ask about this in Idaho.

How do I convert a lease to month-to-month?
Either let the fixed term expire where the lease says it converts automatically, or sign a new month-to-month agreement. Put it in writing either way, because every notice period that follows depends on which kind of tenancy actually exists.
What happens when the lease expires?
Most leases convert to month-to-month by default and the tenant continues on the same terms. In Idaho that means either side can then end it with 30 days of notice. Check the holdover clause, because a few leases instead impose a penalty rent.
What are the benefits versus a fixed term?
Month-to-month lets you adjust rent with 15 days of notice in Idaho and end the tenancy with 30 days. The cost is symmetry: the tenant has the same flexibility, so turnover risk is higher and you should price that in.
How do I end a month-to-month tenancy?
Serve written notice at least 30 days before the intended end date in Idaho, delivered the way your state allows. Longer tenancies and local just-cause rules can require more, so check both before you serve.

This is general information about Idaho landlord-tenant law, not legal advice. Local ordinances can be stricter than the state rule, and if a dispute is already underway it is worth an hour of a lawyer’s time.
