Kentucky lease renewal guide

Check the applicable lease rules

Confirm local adoption

KRS 383.500 authorizes local adoption of the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act in its entirety. Check the ordinance for the rental address before applying the Act. For addresses outside an adopting jurisdiction, consult the remaining provisions of Chapter 383 and the existing lease. Official source

Set the extension dates

Read the expiration, automatic renewal, and notice clauses. Record the agreed rent and the exact beginning and ending dates. Keep the existing lease and any applicable riders with the signed extension.

Identify notices and deposit duties

Identify the type of tenancy

In adopting jurisdictions, KRS 383.695 generally specifies written notice at least seven days before weekly termination or thirty days before the specified monthly rental date. It has separate rules for certain tenancies following a written lease. Outside adopting jurisdictions, KRS 383.195 addresses termination of tenancies at will or by sufferance. Check the legal basis before selecting a notice. Official source

Protect deposit records

Where KRS 383.580 applies, retain evidence of the designated deposit account, condition lists and signed inspection records. Consult that section for the procedures that depend on whether rent remains unpaid and whether the tenant contests deductions. Enter what is already held on this form. Official source

Sign and deliver the complete packet

Check maintenance and disclosures

In places that adopted the Act, review KRS 383.585 for landlord and agent disclosures and KRS 383.595 for maintenance responsibilities. Record outstanding repairs separately and keep applicable lease riders with the extension. Official source

Use a separate row for each tenant

Enter each signer's legal name and signing date. Provide the complete signed packet to every party. Include applicable attachments.

Renew with clear terms

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.
