Re: landlord tenent rights

If your lease doesn't say, then you're out when it ends. If you pay the May rent and your landlord accepts the money, your lease continues month-to-month until either of you gives notice to vacate at least 15 days before the start of the next month.

Re: landlord tenent rights

renewal rights and notice information can be found, almost always, in your written lease. Star there. 30 days notice in generally what is required. You have it a little backwards, probably. The lease usually gives you the right to renew, assuming that you give the correct notice. If there is no right of rebewal, then when the lease ends, it ends and you must vacate -- even if there is no notice.
