Get (pha Resident One-year Renewal Term)

Lease Renewal Yearly and month-to-month leases will automatically renew for another term unless a valid notice to quit is given by the landlord or unless the tenant gives notice to the landlord that the tenant will return possession of the premises to the landlord.

The owner must give written notice of renewal by mail or personal delivery not more than 150 days and not less than 90 days before the existing lease expires. A failure of the tenant to respond within 60 days of the offering may lead to eviction proceedings.

A lease renewal creates a new lease agreement based on an existing lease agreement due to expire. It often keeps all of the existing lease terms; the only change is an updated rental period. But, sometimes, a lease renewal will modify some terms or clauses from the original lease.

A month to month lease will renew automatically for another month unless the landlord or tenant acts to terminate the lease. This rule applies to both oral and written leases (N.J.S.A. 46:8-10).

Right to a Safe and Habitable Home In 1979, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decided that it is the responsibility of the landlord to ensure that a property is safe and sanitary. A landlord can't force a tenant to move into a home “as-is” and can't expect or demand that a tenant be responsible for repairs.

EVICTIONS FOR OWNER-OCCUPIED TWO AND THREE FAMILY DWELLINGS Under this cause of not renewing the lease, a three month notice to quit must be given if an at will tenancy or year-to year tenancy exists. A one-month notice to quit is required for a month-to-month tenancy.

So you may not have to pay much, if any additional rent, if you break your lease. You need pay only the amount of rent the landlord loses because you moved out early. This is because New Jersey requires landlords to take reasonable steps to keep their losses to a minimum—or to "mitigate damages" in legal terms.

In New Jersey a landlord is not allowed to refuse to renew a lease with a tenant without grounds for “good cause”. Grounds for good cause may sound obvious, but they include the following reasons: Failing to pay rent when due or owed. Disorderly conduct that disturbs the peace and quiet of neighbors.
