FAQ
If the tenant does not vacate after the expiration of the thirty days, the landlord's counsel can proceed with a holdover eviction action in the appropriate local forum.
Your rights as a tenant when a lessor proposes changes to your lease depend on whether you have an option to renew when the lease expires.That is, a new lease is created, and both parties are legally bound to that agreement. Until both parties sign the new lease, there is only an 'agreement to lease'.
Contract extension: an existing contract is continued for a period of time.Contract renewal: an existing contract endsby, for example, expiringand the parties agree to enter into a new contract (usually for the same or very similar services).
Renewing a lease locks a tenant in so a landlord knows (if all goes to plan) that they will receive rent for a predictable period of time. Likewise, as the PM, it means your revenue is also guaranteed to remain stable because you only get your cut, when the landlord gets their rent!
By definition, a lease renewal is a new lease agreement, whereas a lease extension is a continuation of the original lease agreement. Generally speaking, the practical effect of either is that the parties to the lease continue the landlord-tenant relationship beyond the expiration of the original term of the lease.
We recommend offering your tenant a lease renewal 90 days before the lease expires. You can offer in-person, send via email, or send a letter. The goal is to receive a reply within 30 days so that you have at least 60 days to find a new tenant if your current tenant declines the renewal offer.
Under the rent stabilization rules, your landlord must mail you a lease renewal 90 to 150 days prior to the expiration of your current lease. If you do not return the lease within 60 days, the landlord may refuse to renew your lease and could move to evict you after the lease expires.
