Virginia lease renewal guide
Plan the dates and notices
Review the existing lease
Locate the expiration date, renewal option, automatic renewal clause and notice method. Use the next calendar day as the new start date if the parties intend uninterrupted occupancy. Record the agreed rent and retain a copy signed by all parties. Official source
Check the landlord's notice obligations
Under the version of section 55.1-1204(K) in effect through June 30, 2027, landlords above its Virginia ownership threshold owe at least 60 days' written notice of covered renewal rent increases or nonrenewals. The threshold covers ownership of more than four rental units or more than a ten percent interest in more than four units. The rent-increase provision applies to tenants with an option or automatic renewal, with an exception for the periodic tenancies identified in the statute. Official source
Calendar the July 2027 change
Beginning July 1, 2027, subsection K calls for at least 90 days for covered rent increases and at least 30 days after delivery for the tenant's response. The covered nonrenewal notice retains 60 days. Review the law effective when notice is due, including subsection K's exception. Official source
Distinguish periodic occupancy
Section 55.1-1253 generally measures weekly termination notice seven days before the next rent due date and monthly notice thirty days before it, subject to the agreement for monthly tenancies and the statute's special rules. Official source
Account for charges and deposits
Use the first-page disclosures
Section 55.1-1204.1 requires the fee disclosure to begin on page one. Complete the rent and deposit entries and review the original charge schedule. This extension imposes no new upfront charge. If the parties intend a deposit adjustment or other charge, use separately reviewed terms and the applicable disclosure before collecting it. Official source
Carry forward the deposit ledger
Virginia generally limits the deposit to two months' rent. Record what is already held. At the end of the tenancy, the ordinary deadline for written itemization and return of the balance is 45 days from termination or vacancy, whichever is later. Review the exceptions in section 55.1-1226 and distinguish tenant damage from ordinary wear. Official source
Deliver the complete agreement
Keep the state statement and acknowledgment
Download the current Virginia Statement of Tenant Rights and Responsibilities. Complete the acknowledgment as applicable, retain the delivery and signature record, and give the tenant the copies required by section 55.1-1204. Official source
Keep repairs on a separate record
Record outstanding repairs, dates and access arrangements with the property file. Retain applicable disclosures and prior addenda. Review the landlord's maintenance duties when planning work during the renewal. Official source
Sign and distribute copies
Use one signature row for each tenant and the separate owner or agent row. Include the state statement and applicable riders. Give the same signed terms and attachments to each party.
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.
