My tenant's lease is ending soon, what now?

Did you know the tenancy does not automatically end when the lease expires

It is a good time to start thinking ahead. When you are a few months out from the lease end, it helps to understand your options early so you can decide what you would like to do.

Your main options as the owner are:

1. Do nothing If neither you nor your renters give notice, the agreement continues on a periodic month-to-month basis. The same terms apply. The only exception is Tasmania where the tenancy can end on the lease end date without notice.
2. Renew the lease If you want the renters to stay, you can offer a new fixed term such as 6 or 12 months (or any length). If your lease is ending within 4 months, you will see the option to request a renewal in your dashboard under the lease tab by following the steps shown here.
3. Issue a rent increase The end of a fixed term is a common time to review the rent. Rent can only be increased based on legislation. More info here or try the calculator, either way Cubbi will only create legal rent increase notices.  
4. Give notice to vacate If you would like the renters to move out at the end of the lease or after, you must give written notice. The required notice period depends on your state and likely perscribed reasons. Let the Cubbi team know and we will guide you to make sure everything is done correctly. More info here
