    Question Auto-Renewal Provisions in a Commercial Lease

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Pennsylvania

    Hi,

    I currently have been leasing a commercial real estate property for a little over a year. My initial 1 year lease agreement expired about 3 months ago (at least I thought it did). I recently notified the landlord that I was moving and he stated that I would be sewed for the remainder of the lease. I told him my lease expired and he told me that it auto renewed. I do not see a clause anywhere in this lease that it "auto renewed". I was however suppose to give a 60 days notice in which i did not. If someone who is familiar with PA law shed some light on this for me, I would be grateful,

    Thank you in advance

    This is the only clause that I can see that relevant to renewing:

    OPTION TO RENEW:
    A. At the end of the initial term,Tenant shall have the option to renew the Lease for an additional term equal to the initial term pursuant to the terms and condition contained herein. If Tenant or landlord does not wish to renew the lease, written notice must be given to the other party at least 60 days before the end of the term (including any exercised renewal or extension thereof) to terminate the lease.

    Default Re: Auto Renewal Commercial Lease

    Seems pretty clear to me;

    if you do not intend on renewing the lease you must provide 60 days notice you are not renewing. No notice; no cessation of the lease. That is in effect an auto renewal.
