What is a Landlord's Notice of Non-Renewal?

Are your tenants late with the rent or causing other problems? When a lease is coming up for renewal, a Landlord's Notice of Non-Renewal tells your tenants that their lease will not be renewed and that they will need to move out when the lease ends.

As a landlord, one of the hardest things is dealing with an unwanted tenant, but giving notice of non-renewal is a way out if you need one. Many times a landlord will allow a tenant to remain on the property simply because it is easier than trying to replace them. But you shouldn't feel obligated to renew a lease with tenants who are not living up to their responsibilities. When a lease is about to expire, the notice of non-renewal is the first step to getting better tenants.

When to use a Landlord's Notice of Non-Renewal:

You do not want to offer your tenant a lease extension.
