Can you refuse to renew a Lease?
You can refuse to renew a lease but only under certain legal grounds, for example if the tenant does not maintain the property, has breached certain obligations or you wish to move into the property yourself. A legal expert can help you if you think you have grounds to refuse.
What happens when a lease expires?
When a lease runs out, the tenant can continue to live in the property unless you or they decide to end their tenancy.
