Fixed-Term Leases: Tenants typically do not need to provide notice when the lease term expires, as the agreement automatically ends unless otherwise specified. However, for early termination, tenants should provide as much notice as possible—typically 30 days or more—unless the lease specifies otherwise.
Lease Expiration or Termination When you sign a lease, it will say how long you can live in the property before the lease expires. Once the lease expires, you no longer have the right to live in the property unless you get the lease extended or sign a new lease. This is true even if you were to continue paying rent.
Some leases contain an “Automatic Renewal Provision.” This means that the lease will automatically renew itself for another term unless you notify the landlord that you do not wish to renew it.
