Frequently asked questions

Does a landlord have to renew a lease in Ohio?
Generally no. In Ohio, a landlord may decline to renew a lease at the end of its term for any lawful, non-discriminatory, non-retaliatory reason, after giving any notice the lease and state law require.
Is a lease renewal a new lease?
A renewal extends the existing lease for a new term, usually with the same terms except those the parties change, such as the rent. The Standard renewal keeps all original lease terms in effect unless it states a change.
What is the difference between the Standard and Professional Lease Renewal Agreement?
The Standard edition is a complete, state-aware Lease Renewal Agreement for common situations. The Professional edition adds longer clause coverage, schedules, and optional modules for more complex matters. You can preview either edition free before you pay.
