If you are about to be evacuated, please read the 4th question in our frequently asked questions. However, if the lessor did not offer you a renewal in a timely manner, i.e. the extension was not proposed between 90 and 150 days before the lease expired, this may be a mitigating factor. So if that`s the case, you should probably call the owner and say you want to stay in the apartment. If they raise objections, you can remind them that they did not send a renewal in a timely manner, and that if they try to distribute you at the end of your lease, you will use it for your defence. If the landlord insists on renting to someone else, you should probably consult a lawyer about the „late renewal“ defence and whether this would stop an eviction from your landlord. The lease or „lease renewal“ allows a landlord and tenant to renew a tenancy agreement beyond its end date. The other terms of the lease remain unchanged, unless they are amended accordingly. Depending on economic conditions, the landlord can increase the monthly rent.

With the exception of rental housing, a tenant can only renew the tenancy agreement with the landlord`s agreement. Although there are some limited exceptions, tenants of rent-fixed housing have a fundamental right to choose a rent extension for one or two years. The landlord must communicate in writing to the tenant the right to withdraw for up to 150 days and no less than 90 days before the end of the lease.

For more information, please contact Homes and Community Renewal (UNHCR). The property owner or manager sends the endorsement to the tenant.

The endorsement will be added to the lease agreement, which is currently in effect with changes such as the extension period and the new rent amount. Unless further change, the remaining portion of the lease remains intact. The only way for your landlord to refuse you a renewed lease agreement is to be evacuated to the residential court. After proper notification, a landlord may proceed to a summary court of non-payment to recover a tenant who does not pay the agreed rent if the rent due and the rent unpaid.

The owner must give the extension in writing by mail or personal delivery, no more than 150 days and no less than 90 days before the expiry of the existing lease.
