Lease Renewal Agreement

Who this document is for

• A landlord and tenant continuing after a lease expires
• A renewal with a rent change agreed for the new term
• Anyone replacing an expiring lease without renegotiating everything

When to use something else

Using the wrong document is the most expensive mistake in this category, because the paperwork looks complete while doing the wrong thing. This is not the document for:

• Changing a term mid-tenancy — use a Lease Amendment
• Extending the current term without other changes — use a Lease Extension
• Letting a lease continue month to month — use a Month-to-Month Agreement

What the generated document contains

• The parties and the property
• The original lease being renewed
• The new term start and end dates
• The rent for the renewal term
• Confirmation that other lease terms continue
• Signature block for both parties

State and local requirements

Requirements for this document differ by state, and sometimes by city. Notice periods, deposit limits, permitted fees and required disclosures are all set locally, and a number that is correct in one state can be wrong in the next one.

This page does not state those figures. The questionnaire asks you for the values that apply to your tenancy and prints what you enter, so the document reflects your situation rather than a national average. Start with the state lease pages for the jurisdiction you are renting in.
