An operator may have a letter notifying the rental unit owner of a lease renewal or a sublease agreement, and not having been paid; however the notice does not need to be in writing. This law allows a lease that has expired to be renewed without additional penalty provided there is a lease agreement between the residential tenancy and the rental unit owner indicating the agreement has been renewed or not renewed. The lease agreement includes a statement to the effect that, if the obligation to be paid the rent has not been met, the lessee is at risk of the property owner's enforcement if the landlord shall not pay the obligation. There is a penalty for failing to comply with the conditions of the lease. The penalty is 10% of the amount due not to exceed one month's rent if the person has not been paid the additional rent agreed upon in order to continue to occupy the rental unit.
