I am a tenant. Can I rent a room month to month on a year lease?

[Karen Closkey]

Can I rent a room month to month on a year lease? Can I have the option to leave with a month’s notice but get the protection of a year lease? 

I don’t want price increases for a year and if something major is broken I want to put rent money in escrow until it is fixed. I am currently looking for rooms for rent/ roommmate situations in Delco.
