1 to 3 -Year Lease with 90-Day Renewal Option:
Your lease is for one year, which means you have an agreed-upon start and end date (e.g., January 1, 2025 December 31, 2025). During this time, you are committed to staying in the property and paying rent as per the lease agreement.
Renewal Clause (90 Days Prior to Expiration):
The lease includes a clause that allows you to renew the lease for another term, but it must be done 90 days before the lease expires.
90 days before expiration means you would need to inform your landlord or property manager that you wish to renew the lease at least 90 days before your lease ends. For example, if your lease ends on December 30, 2026 you would need to let them know by September 30, 2026 if you want to renew it.
This gives both you and the landlord time to discuss any changes to the lease (e.g., rent increase, updates to terms), or to give notice if either party does not wish to continue the agreement.
No Automatic Renewal:
If you don't give notice within the 90-day window, the lease may simply expire, and you'll need to either move out or negotiate a new lease (often as a month-to-month rental agreement or a new fixed term).
If you do want to renew, make sure to start the conversation with your landlord/property management team before the 90-day window to avoid any issues.
Why the 90-Day Window is Important:
This notice period protects both parties: it allows you enough time to decide whether to stay or find a new place, while also giving the landlord enough time to find a new tenant if you choose not to renew.
The landlord might also want to change the terms of the lease, such as rent, or may have other plans for the property. So, having this window helps keep things flexible and ensures a smooth transition.
What You Should Do:
Set a reminder: It's always a good idea to set a reminder about 3-4 months before your lease is set to expire so you don't miss the 90-day renewal deadline.
Review the lease: Before committing to the renewal, carefully review any terms that may change, such as rent or property rules. This is also a good time to assess if you still want to stay in the property or if you're considering other options.
Gas, Electricity, and Water:
Gas: You will need to set up an account with the gas supplier and pay for the gas you use. This typically covers heating and hot water.
Electricity: You're responsible for setting up an account with an electricity supplier and paying for the electricity you consume (lighting, appliances, etc.).
Water: You would also be responsible for paying the water utility bills, which cover both cold water supply and possibly sewage disposal, depending on your local utility structure.
The responsibility for lawn care means that you're required to maintain the garden/lawn area around the property. This could include tasks like mowing the lawn, weeding, and general upkeep of outdoor areas that fall within the boundaries of the property.
1. No Smoking:
This means you are not allowed to smoke inside the property, or potentially in any common areas.
The no-smoking rule typically includes cigarettes, cigars, vaping, and sometimes cannabis, depending on local laws.
If you're someone who smokes, it's important to know that violating this rule could lead to penalties or even the termination of your lease. If you need to smoke, you may need to do so outside or in designated areas (if specified).
2. Small Pet Under 30 lbs.
This allows you to have a pet (likely a dog) (No Cats) under 30 pounds in weight.
You would need to ensure that your pet doesn't exceed the 30-pound weight limit. If you have a larger pet or are planning to get one, you would need to seek permission from your landlord or property manager.
Some lease agreements also specify breed restrictions, so you might need to confirm if there are any particular dog breeds that aren't allowed, even if they're under the weight limit.
Be sure to check if there are any additional requirements for pet ownership, like paying a pet deposit or monthly pet fee. Some leases also have rules about pet behavior, cleanliness, and noise.
What You Should Do:
Smoking: If you smoke, it's best to find a designated outdoor area where you're allowed to do so. You should avoid smoking near building entrances or in areas where it might impact neighbors.
Pets: If you're getting a pet, ensure you stick to the weight restriction. You should also be aware of other pet-related rules like cleaning up after your pet, ensuring they don't disturb neighbors, and keeping them on a leash in common areas.
Key Notes:
If you're unsure about pet approval, sometimes landlords require you to fill out a pet application or provide vaccination records, and occasionally you might need to show that you've had the pet for a while and it's well-behaved.
