Re: When does a lease renewal expire? by Garry on January 26, 2019 @18:00

You are correct. Either you or the tenant must, in writing, give the other a notice that says you are not renewing the lease, and the T must move out. It's a MINIMUM 0f 30 days notice, so to be safe, either party should give the notice 45-60 days before the lease ends. If you want the lease to go M2M, but not have the T move out, just say that, instead of giving the T notice to move. But if you wanted to just increase the rent, you can only do it at that 1 year point. However, only YOU can make the lease M2M. The T has no say-so on it, since you are the owner, and it's YOUR lease. Once it becomes M2M, you can give the T a minimum 30 day notice of a change in terms, such as asking the T to move, or increasing the rent. The M2M lease just keeps on going, until one of you decides to give a notice. All my Ts are M2M, and I have 4 of them that have been with me for 8-18 years.

Ok 2 more questions....It is past the two year point and as I understand it has automatically renewed again and will each year. The lease does not state that it ever turns into month to month. If it does go month to month, do the terms in the lease (like cleanliness, what to do on moveout where to park or any direction) still apply as long as the signer continues to live there?

If you change from a 1 year renewal, to M2M, ALL other parts of the original lease remain the same, UNLESS you decide to change something(in writing, giving 30 days notice of the change.) The only thing you are changing is the LENGTH of the lease, nothing more. By the way, you can change a lease, or parts of it, even during a 1 year term, BUT ONLY IF THE T AGREES TO THE CHANGE, IN WRITING.
