How Does a Landlord Terminate a Lease with a Tenant?
The ways that a landlord may terminate a lease agreement with a tenant vary from city to city.  Generally, a landlord can terminate the lease of a tenant: 

  • By agreement to end the tenancy with the tenant
  • When the lease ends:
    • Tenancy for a term leases may require prior notice of termination by the landlord, usually 30 or 60 days
    • Periodic tenancy (i.e., a month to month lease) leases can be terminated by either the landlord or tenant for almost any reason; sometimes prior notice is required (usually 30 days)
  • Pursuant to the just cause eviction statute of the city

What if My Rental Unit is Subject to Rent Control?
If your city has rent control laws your landlord may not be able to force you to leave after your lease expires.  For more information consult a landlord-tenant lawyer.

Should I Consult a Lawyer about My Right to Terminate a Lease?
Landlord-tenant laws tend to be rather complex and vary from city to city.  Before taking action to terminate your lease as a landlord, you should consult an experienced landlord-tenant lawyer to get a sense of what your lease and local statutes allow you to do and what actions they prohibit.  If you are a tenant, a landlord-tenant lawyer can help you if you feel that your lease is being unlawfully terminated.
