Before Your Termination of Tenancy
by Claire Burns
(New Orleans, LA)
Is your tenancy ending soon? For a fuss-free termination of tenancy, you have to start getting ready about 1 month before your lease expires.
Assuming that you want to keep your existing tenant, then sit down with him for a serious discussion. If he agrees to stay on, then you can take the chance to review the rent and renegotiate the terms of your lease.
If you are gunning for a new tenant or your tenant decides to move out, then this is the time to start advertising for renters. You should also set aside time slots for you to show potential tenants around the property.
