QUESTION

Can a new lease dissolve a prior lease?

Asked on Jul 12th, 2021 on Real Estate - Ohio
More details to this question:
I have a rental history of 25 months on a 12 month lease that is now month to month. The landlord hired a management company to manage the apartment house and they want to implement a new 12 month lease on September 1. After 12 months it would then be month to month. I don’t understand why my month to month status shouldn’t remain in effect.

They probably want to change many of the provisions of the lease.  Essentially, it sounds like they will be terminating the old month to month lease and if you want to keep renting you will need to sign a new lease.  For a definitive answer you will need to sit down with an attorney for a full consultation. Best of luck.
