It should be spelled out in your lease. Generally 30 days notice is required though your lease or your particular state may require more time.

It is a combination of state or local law and your lease. There is no universal answer to your question.
"The landlord is not obliged to renew the lease but if he does, you will be advised at least 30 days prior to its expiration. If he doesn't offer a new lease by the time yours lapses, then your tenancy will revert to a month-to-month situation where your rent can increase constantly unless you have rent control.

You need to get a refund on that book. In some places, like NJ for instance, your lease automatically renews with or without your landlords consent and rent increases on all residential rentals are limited to once a year, rent controlled or not.

You know the term of your lease when you sign it. The landlord is not obliged to renew the lease but if he does, you will be advised at least 30 days prior to its expiration. If he doesn't offer a new lease by the time yours lapses, then your tenancy will revert to a month-to-month situation where your rent can increase constantly unless you have rent control. It's in your best interest to ask about renewal within 45 days of its expiration.

Depending on what state you live in it's 60 to 90 days so you'll have 2 to 3 months in order to find another place to live, unless it's stated in the signed lease that no notice is required. In that case he can ask you to be out the day the lease expires. I hope that isn't the case. Good Luck.

The general notice period is at least 30 days. This would change if you had a written rental agreement and other terms are spelled out. If you have no written agreement and pay on a monthly basis then the lease is considered month to month and either the landlord or tennant may terminate the agreement with a 30 day written notice.

I'm not sure they really have to give you a time frame unless they stated it in the lease. As a renter you should be asking these questions upfront to see where you stand so your not out of luck at the last minute.

Ms Snoopg is right. Your lease is a legal document that spells it out. Read your lease. It is in mine.
Good luck!

MOST PLACES ITS 2 MONTHS OR 60 DAYS, HE MUST GIVE NOTICE 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE LEASE EXPIRES, IF NOT THEN YOU STILL HAVE UP TO 2 MONTHS FROM WHEN YOU RECIEVED NOTICE
