Lease expiration vis-a-vis notices

[Mohan Deep]

I am in Milwaukee, WI and I use the WLB lease format to sign fixed-term yearly leases with my tenants. Additionally, I have a "Notice to Vacate" section in my non-standard rental provisions indicating that tenant and landlord must provide a 2 full calendar month notice to vacate. 

At the end of the lease, do I have to provide a "notice to vacate" or does the lease expire automatically since it is a fixed-term lease?

Hi Mohan Deep, 

General Rule: A fixed-term lease typically expires automatically at the end of the lease period without the need for a notice to vacate unless otherwise stated in the lease agreement.

For fixed-term leases, if no notice requirement is specified, they typically expire automatically.
If your lease requires a two-month notice to vacate, you must provide this notice even at the end of the lease term. Always review your lease agreement and consult local laws to ensure compliance with all regulations. I hope this helps!
