QUESTION
Does the automatic renewal clause in a lease mean that it will renew many times over?
Asked on Nov 13th, 2011 on Landlord and Tenant Law - New York
More details to this question:
We signed a lease in July 2009. It has an automatic renewal clause that states that if the tenant fails to inform the landlord 60 days prior to the date of the termination of the lease about the intent to vacate, then the lease automatically renews for another year. It is now November 2011 and we need to move out of the apartment. We want to know if we are still bound by the terms set by the original lease. Also, we never received (signed) copies of the renewed leases.

You have to read carefully the terms of the lease.

From what you indicate, I would say you are locked in for another year.

Yes. I believe that you are bound. There is no renewal lease. It's the same lease.
