Your lease report
This lease is mostly standard, but it has three clauses worth pushing back on before you sign — especially the auto-renewal and the late fee.
Findings
Ranked by how much they matter for you.
“This Lease shall automatically renew for successive terms of twelve (12) months unless Tenant provides written notice of non-renewal at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the current Term.”
Most leases use a 30 or 60 day notice window. A 90-day window is easy to miss and can trap you for another year in an apartment you wanted to leave.
Ask to change the notice period to 30 or 60 days, or remove the auto-renewal entirely so the lease goes month-to-month at the end.
