Illinois lease renewal guide
Deliver the Safer Homes summary
Keep the four-page summary first
Illinois requires its Summary of Rights for Safer Homes at the front of written residential leases, including renewals, beginning January 1, 2026. Obtain each tenant's acknowledgment on every summary page. If there are more tenants than signature lines, use additional copies of the official pages and keep all acknowledgments with the lease. Official source
Print the complete agreement
Print pages 1-7 for the state summary and the agreement. The reading guide starts on page 8. Keep any required city or program attachments with the signed agreement.
Check notices and charges
Check Chicago's Fair Notice rules
For covered Chicago rentals, the notice period for certain rent increases and nonrenewals depends on how long the tenant has occupied the unit. Consult the city's 30-, 60- and 120-day schedule before setting an effective date. Official source
Check the January 2027 fee law
Public Act 104-0479 takes effect January 1, 2027. Review its scope and first-page disclosure requirements for nonoptional fees before using this packet for an agreement subject to that law. If fees apply, use documentation that satisfies both the fee law and the Safer Homes summary requirement. Official source
Keep the deposit and signed records
Document damage deductions
Under 765 ILCS 710/1, property damage deductions generally require written itemization and supporting receipts within 30 days of vacancy or the end of the right to possession, whichever is later. The statute also provides for a full return within 45 days of vacancy if the required evidence is not provided. Check the exceptions and local rules. Official source
Give every party a copy
Each tenant uses a separate signature row in the agreement, in addition to acknowledging the state summary. Distribute the signed packet with all applicable disclosures.
Arizona lease renewal guide
Use this agreement when the landlord and the existing tenants agree to extend the same residential lease for a new fixed term. Read the lease and all signed addenda together before filling in the renewal.
Set the dates and rent
Check the existing lease for an expiration date, a renewal option, and any deadline for giving notice. If the current term ends December 31 and the parties want uninterrupted occupancy, the new term normally begins January 1. Write the exact end date, the renewed rent, and when the new rent starts. If a rent change falls mid-month, agree on how the partial month will be calculated. A.R.S. § 33-1314(A) and (C)
What happens after the old term expires?
Check whether the existing lease already provides for renewal or continuation. Arizona generally treats a rental agreement with no definite term as month to month, with an exception for a roomer paying weekly rent. The holdover statute points to that rule when the landlord consents in writing to continued occupancy after expiration. If there is a dispute about consent or possession, resolve that before using a mutual renewal form. A.R.S. § 33-1314(D) and § 33-1375(C)
Count notice time from the rental date
To end an existing month-to-month tenancy, give written notice at least 30 days before the periodic rental date named in the notice. For example, if rent is due on the first and the notice specifies June 1, notice must be received by May 2. For registered or certified mail, Arizona uses the earlier of actual receipt and five days after mailing. Keep the notice and delivery record together. A fixed-term renewal offer may follow a different deadline under the existing lease. A.R.S. § 33-1375(B) and § 33-1313(B)
Record the deposit already held
Compare the deposit in the renewal with the original receipt and payment records. State law generally caps security a landlord demands, including prepaid rent, at one and a half months’ rent. The statute allows a tenant to pay more rent voluntarily in advance. Record any agreed change separately so both parties can tell what is already held and what is newly due. A fee or deposit is refundable unless its nonrefundable purpose is stated in writing as required by the statute. A.R.S. § 33-1321(A) and (B)
Review changes to rules, services, and contact details
If parking, utilities, or another service will change, identify exactly what changes and when. A rule adopted during a tenancy generally requires 30 days’ notice and cannot substantially modify the rental agreement under the rulemaking provision. Review the original lease before treating a change in an agreed service as a house rule. Keep the management and notice contacts current and check the renewal for prohibited waivers of tenant rights. A.R.S. § 33-1342, § 33-1322, and § 33-1315
Sign and save the complete agreement
Have each named signer review the same terms before signing. Give each party the signed agreement and keep it with the original lease, amendments, and any related notices. Check the housing type before relying on this form. Arizona excludes certain arrangements from its residential landlord and tenant chapter, and subsidized housing may also have program-specific renewal requirements. A.R.S. § 33-1308

This agreement extends an existing lease and records the renewed rent. Lawful terms not expressly changed continue. It does not replace the original lease, create a new automatic-renewal clause, extend a guaranty, or require the tenant to leave when the new term ends.
State guidance is a starting point, not a determination of local coverage or a legal opinion. Rent-regulated and subsidized housing can require prescribed forms. Review the official sources shown for your state and get qualified advice for special cases.
