Q: Can landlord ask for renewal of lease five months before the end of a 1 year lease? Can I loose my place for waiting?
landlord is texting to renew my 1 year lease 5 months prior to the end of current lease. What are my rights on renewal time frames? Can they rent it out from under me this far in advanced? They have not sent the new lease for my review. the old lease does not have time frames for renewal on it. This is in Corvallis, OR Thank you
A: Unless your lease somehow limits the landlord's rights, certainly he can address the lease renewal issue whenever he wants. He could have made it a 2 year lease to begin with if he wished. If you are not ready to commit, talk with him to see how long he will give you before looking for a replacement tenant. Either way, you cannot be kicked out before the end of your existing lease terms, absent cause.
