Ending and Renewing: For the number of days to renew or not renew;

Fixed Term: Notice would be as is specified within the lease. However, leases requiring 60 days notice of intent not to renew have been held unenforceable by Ohio Courts.
Periodic: However long the periodic tenancy is, that is how much notice one party wishing to terminate the lease must give the other.
For instance, a month to month lease requires 30 days notice of intent to terminate.

Please Note: The notice period does not begin until the start of the next rental period. (R.C. 5321.17)

Have the perfect tenant, and want to keep them after the lease terms expires?

Easy! Just sign this Lease Renewal Agreement with them, and you're all set. To make the process even easier, the agreement is editable in case you want to tweak any other terms of the lease agreement too.

State and province laws differ on how far in advance landlords must notify renters that they may renew (or must vacate), so be sure to mail this agreement with enough time to spare.

More Details:

Use this form to extend legally all the terms of the existing contract for an additional lease period. This useful and friendly lease renewal form notifies the tenant that their lease is due to expire soon and that the landlord would like to provide the tenant with the opportunity to renew their current lease agreement. It includes a section for the tenant to fill out and return in order to indicate approval of the continuation and states that the lease will be extended automatically if no reply is received. This is an extra measure of security for the landlord.

The landlord can print this form as-is, or add their own custom text into the form. The ezLandlordForms Lease Renewal Agreement includes the proper language for continuing a lease and allows a landlord to include any special stipulations, terms, rules, regulations or anything else that comes to mind. It is very important that the landlord takes notice of their state laws in addition to the current lease for when and how a notice of renewal must be sent in addition to the specific number of days. Once the landlord serves the notice of renewal, the tenant may choose between the option to accept or decline the renewal. It is completely up to the landlord to either create a new lease agreement entirely or use this agreement as the renewal agreement.
