A: The time a landlord must give for non-renewal of a year-long lease can vary significantly depending on local laws and the specific terms outlined in your lease agreement. Generally, most jurisdictions require a notice period of 30 to 60 days before the lease ends. It's crucial to check the regulations in your area, as some places may have longer notice requirements.

Your lease agreement should also contain information on the notice period for non-renewal. It's important to review this document, as it might have specific clauses that outline the procedure and time frame for notifying tenants about lease decisions. If the agreement does not specify, then local landlord-tenant laws will apply.

If you're unsure about the rules in your area or how to interpret your lease agreement, you might consider consulting with a legal professional or a tenants' rights organization. They can provide guidance tailored to your situation, helping ensure that you understand your rights and obligations regarding lease non-renewal notices.
