Q: Can my landlord suddenly take grace period at lease renewal?
I am up for a lease renewal beginning 10/1/18. However i just received the lease for review 9/24/18. Upon review, i show the landlord has taken the grace period granted to me in the years prior at the same residence (2 years).i have never abused the period. However i am paid every 2 weeks so sometimes i may fall within my granted time. Is this legal?
A: The lease terms may change from year to year. Each separate year is a separate lease agreement. Your landlord may offer different terms when the contract is up for renewal. If it is important to have a grace period in the lease agreement, you can negotiate with your landlord for one.
