Can landlord ask me to renew the lease for another whole year after 2 years of renting the house? Can I refuse and ask for month-to-month?

Answer 1

YES the landlord can require a new lease at any time that there is not already one in effect.  You can ask for a month to month but they DO NOT have to do it. You either agree to the required terms or move out.

Answer 2

The landlord can require you to renew annually although you can always request an exception. It may or may not be granted although it never hurts to ask.

Answer 3

You can certainly ask, however many landlords want to know they have the property rented for the coming year and many tenants want to know they have the security of renting for the year without increases in rent etc......

Answer 4

He can of course do that.  You can ask, he can say no.

Answer 5

You can of course. 

The landlord can also then choose to give notice that your tenancy will end at the end of your lease.

Answer 6

You can ask to go to month-to-month, but the landlord does not have to accommodate you. Houses are almost never rented on month-to-month rental agreements. Annual lease is standard procedure. IF you have some legitimate concern - e.g. you plan to buy a house in the spring, or you are waiting to hear on a job transfer - you might be able to convince your landlord to switch to month-to-month, or to agree in advance that IF the house purchase or job transfer actually goes through, you can pay for ads to seek a new lessee so you can get out of the lease.

Answer 7

of course, in MOST states and in MOST cases, if you refuse the landlord can terminate your tenancy if you refuse to sign a new lease.  you can request  to go month to month, you can offer an extra 25/month of maybe suggest a shorter lease of 3-6 months.

Answer 8

Yes he can. His house, his choice of lease.

You can ask for a month to month rental agreement. But if the landlord says no, your choices are to sign a new lease or move.

Answer 9

Sure, it's his property.  It's more common though to automatically go to m-to-m.  You can ask, but if the ll says no and you refuse to renew, you have to move out.

Answer 10

You can ask, they can say yes or no.

They can also decide not to rent to you anymore.
