Notice To Vacate Or Re-New Lease: Fill & Download for Free

How do you decide who gets to renew the lease when both roommates don't want to live together but both want dibs on the apartment? I've lived here 3 years and she's lived here 10 months. All furniture is mine. I paid the full security deposit.If one tenant is leaving, then it’s a totally new lease.We would probably simply not give either tenant a new lease. We would just give them notice to vacate at the end of the current lease’s term.Much easier that way.Then we’ll get the unit ready, do the comps for a new rental rate, and get it re-listed immediately.

More information is need to provide a reasonably accurate answer.A couple of scenarios based on general RE Laws, not applicable in every locale:You are living with others who are Leaseholders and paying rent: In most states under this scenario, to the landlord/owner’s agent, you are considered a subleasee of the original tenant, who may or may not be living in the property. As a subleasee, the actual Leasee would need to provide written notice conforming to the laws of your locale. Thereafter, the Leasee would need to file an illegal detainer suit to have you removed(evicted). Or depending on what is in the lease, the Landlord could provide notice to cure or quit to the Leasee, because you are inhabiting the property without the landlord’s permission. If you are not removed, then the Landlord can file suit against the Leasee and all inhabitants for breach of Lease and have everyone evicted from the property.You are living with your parents: Again, depending on the local laws, notice needs to be served. If you do not move out within the notice period, then an illegal detainer suit needs to be filed.You moved into a vacant property and the landlord/owner had no knowledge of your existence in the property: Basically you and maybe some friends moved in and set up residence. You are considered a squatter, not a tenant. The laws for removal of squatters varies greatly from state to state. In some states, there needs to be notice, then an illegal detainer suit filed. In other locales, a sheriff will show up, place shiny bracelets on your wrists and provide new housing with 3 meals a day.As with all Real Estate related matters, it is important to know your local laws.

The rent where I lived in 1996 was about to go up 40%. At issue is that the landlord was doing significant renovations and a lot of sound-proofing. He was also putting in a modern A/C unit and an all new kitchen. The city had approved this in return for his agreeing that they’re remain apartments, rather than being torn apart and reconstructed into half as many luxury condo units.I got notice one day indicating that they would redo my apartment in 60 days, and that it was a 30 day project. If I agreed to the new terms, I had 60 days to find someplace to temporarily store my furniture. Otherwise, I would be giving my 60 day notice. There would be a new lease, which would start when I re-occupied and the terms would be somewhat stricter about various things such as noise making, etc. Also, if I agreed, they would do an immediate landlord’s credit and background check because I’d have to qualify under the new rent level and rules.Talk about timing — two days before I had to either sign the new lease or in effect give notice, my mortgage approval came through. As it happens, my existing lease allowed for a no penalty early exit if you bought a house. So in a sense, I did leave due to the rent increase in that I was still just a bit on the fence about going from life long renter to owner.Interestingly, I was in those apartments to begin with because the landlord where I’d lived before also wanted to do some “significant” upgrades to the townhouse I was living in. These were approved by Housing … required in the City of LA due to rent control. No surprise there, since the owner was a Municipal Court judge with connections all over. The proposed 18% - 22% (they’d let me know exactly how much when the work was done) would have required me to vacate for 2 - 3 weeks.This was to occur during the last month of my current lease. So I could agree to a new lease and at least an 18% increase, or I could give my 30 day notice. A friend had moved to the other place and so I moved. I should point out that I’d been in the townhouse for 3 years and then I was in the next place for nearly 4.
