I currently have a tenant in Ohio whose lease term is coming up for renewal. I do not want to renew the lease. What is the proper protocol for informing tenant? Thank you.
universally, just tell them you are not renewing their lease (no need to explain why if you don't want to). leases only auto-renew if both parties make no action to the contrary.
but tenant/landlord laws vary by city/county, check your local laws, but my feeling is that it's common contract law governing this and a simple notice to not renew (good juju to give 30+days notice) should be fine.
