LEASE RENEWALS AND EXPIRATION.

If you have a lease with me that expires on May 31, you need to take action soon. Your lease requires you to give me written notice by April 1 whether you are leaving or staying for another year. (An email is not a written notice.) If some of you are leaving but some of you are staying, you need to find new roommates right away. The tenants who be replacing the ones who are leaving need to fill out application forms, meet with everyone in your group who is staying, be interviewed by me, I need to run credit checks, prepare a new lease and get it signed by everyone, and get checks – all by April 1. That is why I said that whether you are staying or leaving, you need to take some action soon. If you are leaving, but some of your roommates are staying, this concerns you too. You are co-tenants. You need to make sure that the people who are staying have new co-tenants and a new lease with me by April 1. Otherwise, you could be on the hook for the rent after you have moved out.

Lease Renewal.

If you have a lease with me that expires on May 31, now is the time to renew it. My leases do not automatically renew when they expire. If you intend to move out when your lease expires, you have to give me 60 days written notice. It’s in your lease. If you want to stay when your lease expires, you need to contact me immediately so I can prepare a lease extension.
