@Karen F. Got it. That’s what I will do. Thank you!

@Al Pat I agree. I added that on the lease. For my next time around, I think I will change to a better lease. Thank you for your suggestion!

@Joe Splitrock I got the original lease from my Real Estate agency. I agreed the lease was not well written. I have seen different standard versions. A few are better than my current one. I appreciated you taking time to revise that particular clause for me. It sounded much better! Thank you!

@Caleb Heimsoth I have been using the standard lease from real estate agency from New Haven and made some modification as time goes. It says 90 days notice so I thought it is a standard. Now I know it may not be depending on different market. Thank you!

@Levi T. Agreed. Thank you!

@Patricia Steiner well said! Thank you!

@Account Closed I thought it woks on both way.  This is the old tenant I inherited from the seller for about 3 months and the tenant is quite nice.  Now, it is time for renewal with the new contract. This is what tenant said, "We would ask you to set the minimum notice at the standard 30 days notice prior to the end of our lease. It seems unreasonable given the unlikelihood of finding another property, should we ever wish to move, 90 days out. In addition, there is no protection for us stating your requirement to inform us at least 90 days out should you not intend to renew our rental agreement." 

Dear BP members - on my lease with the below clause, it says 90 days notice. I explained to him that it works both way - meaning that landlord will have to give the notice to tenants 90 days notice if not renewing the lease. Tenant asked me to put this on the lease. How would you deal with this kind of situation?  Thank you!

"End of Lease Term. If you plan to vacate the Apartment at the end of your Lease, a minimum of 90 days notice is required by the Tenant to the Landlord. At the end of the Lease term, if I fail to vacate the apartment, you may use the legal process to remove me. In the event you accept rent for any period after the end of the lease term, then I shall be deemed a holdover Tenant and my tenancy shall be month to month with monthly rent at the current rate. In the event I am a holdover tenant, the terms of this lease shall apply." 

@Mike McCarthy Got it. Thank you!

@Thomas S. But none of them wanted to be responsible as that person to collect the rent and pay the landlord. During academic year it may be possible since some tenants look for their own roommates so they rent altogether. In the situation that each of them doesn’t know one another, it may be more difficult?
