NOTICE TO END LEASE AGREEMENT (Clause 18)

Either Party may end this Lease at the end of the original term or any renewal term by written notice. Landlord or Resident must give this written notice at least sixty (60) days before the date of the end of the lease. This Lease will automatically renew for a year to year term if neither party ends the Lease at the end of the original term or the end of any renewal term (and if Landlord does not send a renewal notice). This Lease will renew on the terms in Landlord’s renewal notice if Resident does not send notice ending Lease.

CHANGE IN RENT OR OTHER TERMS OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT (Clause 19)

Landlord may notify Resident in writing of any changes in rent or changes of any other terms of the new Lease Agreement. Resident must then notify the Landlord in writing (by certified mail and Landlord must receive notification) before sixty (60) days of end of Lease if Resident rejects these changes and desires to end the Lease. If Resident does not respond to Landlord’s changes, the changes will become part of this Lease amending it by any terms listed in the renewal notice. Resident agrees to pay double the last monthly rent if this Lease is ended and Resident does not vacate on the ending date. This double rental charge is due for each month or part of a month that Resident remains in possession of the leased unit after the end date of the Lease or renewal.

OPTION FOR A RENEWAL ON A TWO MONTH-TO-TWO MONTH BASIS (Clause 20)

Resident may choose a two month-to-two month Lease following the expiration of the original term of this Lease. There is an additional $100.00 monthly charge for the two month-to-two month option for rent over $750, $50.00 for rent of $750.00 or under. Resident must notify Landlord in writing at least sixty (60) days before the renewal term begins that Resident will choose the two month-to-two month renewal. To end a two month-to-two month Lease, either Resident or Landlord must give the other party at least sixty (60) days written notice to vacate before the end of the Lease Agreement. (Sent by certified mail and received by Landlord)
