Lease renewal, cancellation and rental increases.

A rental increase or lease ending should never arrive as an unexplained surprise. The agreement and applicable law determine timing, notice and any escalation formula.

PROPERTY INSIGHT 47 Lease renewal, cancellation and rental increases.

What to know

  • Read the renewal and escalation clauses before the renewal window.
  • Give notices in the form and within the period required by the agreement and applicable law.
  • Confirm any new rental, term and changed conditions in writing.
  • Where a fixed-term consumer agreement falls under the Consumer Protection Act, additional cancellation and notice rules may apply.
