Re: tennant rights

It depends on what your lease says and what you mean by "renewal." The landlord has until whatever date the lease says she has to tell you about rent increases or other changes. When you say "renewal" do you mean when the lease ends? or the date by which you have to decide if you want to renew?

Please feel free to give us a call if you want to talk about your case.
