Termination of Lease
-
Either a tenant or a property owner can present a lease termination 30 days before the scheduled termination of a lease. If a tenant fails to provide a notice, or is terminating the lease early, they are subject to a monetary penalty as set forth in his lease agreement. If a property owner attempts to terminate a lease prior to maturation, they must have a valid reason. Violation of the tenant's rights could come with a monetary penalty or a lawsuit on behalf of the tenant.
Rental Increases
-
Annual rental increases must be in writing and sent to the tenant at least 30 days prior to the lease expiration. If the tenant does not reply, he accepts the rental increase by default, and the lease is extended under the same terms with the increased rent. However, the rental increase cannot exceed the percentage rate of increase as set forth in state law. Each state is different concerning how much a property owner is able to increase rent on an annual basis.

Eviction Notice
-
Evictions can be tricky. However, depending on the circumstances for eviction, the property owner must present the tenant with at least 30 days notice to vacate during official eviction proceedings. If the tenant has abandoned the property, the property owner is not permitted to take possession of it or any items left behind until eviction proceedings are final. Regardless, a 30-day notice to evict is required.
