How do I non-renew a tenant?

A notice of non-renewal can be served to the tenant and will be valid if it gives the tenant a sufficient number of days "warning" that the lease will not renew and if it tells the tenant to vacate on the last day of a rental period.

How many days must the notice give?  Look first at your lease.  It may tell you how much notice must be given for a nonrenewal.  If your lease does not contain such language, or if there is no lease, then the following rules apply:

  • If the rent is paid on a monthly basis, then give not less than 15 days' notice prior to the end of any monthly period
  • If the rent is paid on a weekly basis, then give not less than 7 days' notice prior to the end of any weekly period.
