Your landlord can offer a lease renewal at any point in the lease term, however, he cannot force you to sign or raise your rent until the end of the contract.

How do i renew one year lease?

Generally you can renew a lease by stating your intention in writing to the landlord and awaiting their response to you. If a landlord does not give you any type of response within 30 days of the end of your lease you are able to stay on a month to month basis. They must give you notice to leave, they can not make you leave. Generally a tenant does not have to give a notice to leave at the end of their lease.


Can a landlord charge you late fee on rent after a year?

That depends on the state. In Massachusetts, the rent has to be 30 days late, and the late fee has to be agreed to in the rental agreement. Every state is different on this.


When you pay first and last security deposit on a rental home and you stayed there for your first month do you owe after the first 30 days or do you start paying on the second month you just don't get?

Normally you start paying the rent after 30 days. The landlord keeps the "last" months rent as a security deposit until you move out. In some states, you can use this as the final month's rent on your lease (usually the 12th month.) If you renew your lease the landlord will keep it until your final 30 days. . . that's why it's called the "last" month's rent.

Can a landlord just tell you to vacate if your lease is up in Pennsylvania?

You bet they can. Some leases have language in them that say they automatically renew for another year, and other leases contain language that says they turn into a month-to-month lease. Your landlord would have to evict you if they wanted you out if the lease contains either of those clauses. Barring that, at the end of your one year lease, you have no title to that apartment if the landlord chooses not to renew your lease. No landlord in PA is specially obligated to renew any lease. If you've been a good tenant, they probably will, but if you've been a pain to deal with, they're probably not going to renew you and they'll try their luck with another tenant.

Who can renew a lease?

A tenant if that right is granted in the lease to the tenant or is a tenant's right because of a law. Normally a landlord can't renew a lease except for specific reasons -- one is called a "holdover". That's where the tenant should have moved out because the lease is over, but doesn't. In that case the lease may grant the landlord the right to consider the lease "renewed" for a period of time. As to a law, there are some places where if you have an oral lease for a year and you as the landlord fail to notify the tenant within a certain time period before the end of the lease that the landlord won't renew, it may be too late and the tenant can "automatically" renew if it wants. There are also leases called "proprietary" leases, which are leases between a building cooperative corporation and the people who own shares in the building corporation and have the exclusive right to a cooperative apartment in the building; it is something that "renews" constantly unless the shareholder breaks the lease or sells the shares.


Can a landlord give a tenant 14 days to move when they have a signed lease?

Normally the landlord must give at least a 30-day notice before the expiration of the lease that he will not renew it, so the tenant must leave. There is one exception: if the tenant is in violation of the terms of the lease, the landlord may terminate the lease and give such short notice for the tenant to leave.
