The majority of rental agreements are terminated in one of the following ways:
-
Mutual Agreement: Both the landlord and tenant agree to end the lease early or at the natural end of the lease term.
-
End of Lease Term: For fixed-term leases, the agreement automatically ends when the lease term expires, unless it's renewed or converted to a month-to-month lease.
-
Notice Given by Tenant: In most places, a tenant can terminate a month-to-month rental by giving proper notice (usually 30 days, depending on local laws).
-
Notice Given by Landlord: A landlord can terminate a rental agreement by giving proper legal notice, often for reasons like property sale, renovations, or the tenant violating lease terms.
-
Eviction: If a tenant violates lease terms (like non-payment of rent or illegal activity), a landlord can terminate the lease through formal eviction proceedings.
-
Abandonment: The tenant leaves the property without notice or legal termination, which may result in the landlord treating it as a lease termination depending on local laws.
