Question

My tenant's lease ends on October 1st, 08, what is the appropriate notice to let her know I won't be renewing?

Answer 1

Be careful!  You need to know your state's tenancy laws.  Some state's now require 60 days for long term tenants and leases so doublecheck to avoid problem's.

Answer 2

It depends on your state's landlord tenant laws and your lease.

You need to Google your state + landlord tenant laws and look under terminations to see what amount of time is required. It can vary from 30 days to 60.

Answer 3

You tell her Sept 1.   After she pays the rent.

Answer 4

The best landlords care about their tenants.  Give her the notice today. Every day extra is a chance for her to start looking.  Especially if she doesn't think she did anything wrong and you would give her a good reference. I'm a landlord. /

Answer 5

Legally, you must give 30 days notice prior to the expiration of the lease. But, as a courtesy, you can give 60 days or just tell her now that you do not intend on renewing the lease.
