How Can You Make a Landlord Renew Your Lease
A tenant in Tennessee has been told by the property manager for his apartment building that his lease is not going to be renewed because he is chronically late with his rent. He does frequently pay his rent late, but has always paid and has also paid all of his late fees. Is there a way he can make his landlord renew his lease?
Re: How Can You Make a Landlord Renew Your Lease
Unless the lease contains provisions that trigger an automatic renewal, and the landlord fails to follow the provisions of the lease that would prevent an automatic renewal from occurring, the landlord has the right to choose not to renew the tenant's lease. The tenant can review the lease to see what, if any, renewal provisions and terms it contains. Unfortunately for the tenant, despite a possibility of there being helpful language in the lease, odds are the tenant is out of luck.
