The core issue addresses a tenant’s options when a landlord decides not to extend a lease agreement. This involves understanding legal rights, documenting issues, and potentially negotiating or pursuing legal recourse. For example, if a tenant believes the non-renewal is discriminatory or retaliatory, they may have grounds to challenge the decision.
Understanding the legal avenues available to a tenant in this situation provides crucial protection and can prevent displacement. Historically, tenant rights have evolved to safeguard individuals from unfair or arbitrary evictions, emphasizing the necessity of due process and justifiable reasons for terminating a tenancy. Knowing these rights allows tenants to assert them effectively.
