Renew Lease, Option Notice to LandlordReview List
This review list is provided to inform you about the document in question and assist you in its preparation. Formal notification of a lease renewal is a prudent act. We recommend you fax, with a receipt copy, and mail a second signed copy to the Landlord. If it is a lease with substantial value, such as being under market price, you are advised to get a signed receipt from the Post Office through certified mail or a recognized overnight delivery service such as FedEx.
1. Make copies to accompany your lease copies, where you keep them. Have a witness sign the original documents just for safetys sake.
2. If you have any concerns about the integrity of the Landlord, consider hand delivery with a signed receipt by a courier, an employee, or yourself.
Yes with the proper notice a landlord can chose not to renew a lease
A landlord should give the tenant written notice that the lease is ending, 60 days before the end of lease. The notice gives the tenant the option of either renewing the lease or announcing (also in writing) that they don't intend to renew & will be moving by end of 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.
only if the lease has a statement that your lease is automatically renewed unless the tenant does not wish same.
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.
This would depend upon the terms of the lease, but generally depend on why the landlord wants to terminate the lease. If the tenant violated the terms of the lease then the landlord can terminate the lease after proper warning or after proper notice is given. Otherwise the landlord has to wait until the lease expires and can choose not to renew.
Unless the offer to renew was made in writing and signed by the landlord, he may legally withdraw a verbal offer at any time.
Your best option is to go on a month to month basis, if your landlord will allow it, this of course depends on the area and the country you live in.
That is up to the landlord.
Different States and Counties have different laws on this. In California, you must give 30 day written notice. If you already agreed to renew your lease, you are more than likely stuck with it (unless it's month to month). That is a contract, and your landlord legally has the right to uphold it. Bring it up to your landlord, and see what they can do. Never hurts to ask.
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.
The last day of the lease.
