How to Use the Lease Renewal Deadline Calculator
Most residential leases in the US require either the landlord or tenant to give written notice before the lease expires if they wish to renew, change terms, or end the tenancy. Failing to give notice on time can result in an unwanted automatic month-to-month renewal or losing the right to renew.
30-day notice: Common for month-to-month leases and some shorter-term rentals. 60-day notice: Standard for most fixed-term leases. 90-day notice: Required in some states and lease agreements.
Always check your specific lease agreement and your state's landlord-tenant laws, as requirements vary significantly. This calculator provides a general estimate based on the selected notice period.
