Hey all,
I've been trying to find this information online but to no real end.
Here's the situation.
My landlord wishes me to go on a new lease (6 months) I do not want to go on a lease. I'm currently month to month, andhave been for the past 3 years.
I have never signed a lease with him (he bought the building when I was already month to month) and he accepted at the time that I was by month. It has been that way for 2 years.
There has never been a complaint about me, nor have I ever been late with rent.
He is telling me that if I don't sign a new lease, he will be giving me a 30 day eviction notice. In my searching through the tenancy act, I have found no grounds for which to do this. He can't end my renting based on my not signing a new lease, can he?
my reasoning for not signing a new lease? I don't want this pressure every 6 months, I don't want an immediate rent increase and I like that I can move if I need/want to.. though I haven't for 3 years and don't really have the inclination to do so.
Help/advice from those who know the Act or are landlords?
Cheers,
