For example, in California, landlords must give 60 days' notice to tenants if they don't plan to renew the lease.
If the tenant is in a month-to-month tenancy and the landlord wishes to end the tenancy, then the landlord must give the tenant a written 60-day notice. This notice must inform the tenant that the tenancy will end at the end of the 60 days and that the tenant must move out of the rental unit by that time.
Section 29-27(w) of the Montgomery County Code requires that all licensed landlords attach the Lease Summary to each new lease.
Montgomery County Lease Renewal Amendment (1210) The title was changed; the renewal notice period was changed from 60 to 90 days; the rent increases section was modified; there are now one-year and two-year extension options.
Note: Under current law, a landlord may refuse to renew a one-year lease or longer for any reason, including retaliation EXCEPT for certain government-subsidized tenants. Talk to an attorney for more information.
Month-to Month Leases – Typically, a month-to-month lease requires landlords to provide 60-days' notice depending on the terms of the agreement. Annual Leases – Terminating or non-renewing a standard 12-month lease requires 90 days' notice.
Your landlord is not obligated to renew your lease after the rental agreement expires unless you have a defense such as discrimination or retaliation.
The landlord must then notify you in writing that the notice is void or that it has been amended to reflect the allowable rent increase, which is CPI-U + 3% but may not exceed 6%.
A lease amendment is a document that allows landlords and tenants to make changes or additions to an existing lease agreement without the need to create an entirely new contract. It is a flexible tool that ensures both parties are on the same page when adjustments are required during the lease term.
