can i terminate a lease at the end of the lease term?

Jasmine NA
Posted

location: San Jose, California

My tenant's lease is up on May 31st and I would like to terminate his lease / to not continue another term, although his rent is up to date and his job is not impacted by covid.

I gave him the termination notice and he said he would take legal action against me because I should not terminate the lease due to covid. It looks like they will have to apply for eviction protection? such as https://www.cdc.gov/coronaviru... And the protection ends at the end of June 2021?

I looked up online and it seems like all the advise are for "eviction". I am not quite sure if this falls into the eviction category. And he has always paid rent and did not lose his job. I just have other personal issues with him. Can i still tell him to leave by the end of May?

Thank you :)

What's does your lease state on NON-RENEWAL at the end of Natural Lease Term? This section describes the process when lease term ends, the lease will convert to month-to-month, the rent will increase by 5%, etc.

Also instructions for Landlord and Tenant for Notifications when no renewing.

Termination though correct terminology in today's environment it's invokes eviction. Look into your Non-Renewal rights.

Also if the condition you can no longer live with is a lease violation that is a different matter.
