Washington lease renewal guide
Renewal, expiration and cause
Check the lease history
RCW 59.18.650 generally requires cause to refuse to continue a tenancy, with narrow fixed-term exceptions. Before relying on an expiration date, review the initial term, any successive agreements, whether the tenancy ever became periodic, and service of the applicable notice. The separate future version of the statute takes effect in 2028. Official source
Rent changes and notice
Check the cap for the effective year
Under RCW 59.18.700, covered rents generally cannot increase during the first 12 months. Thereafter the cap is the lesser of 7% plus CPI or 10% within any 12 months. For covered residential tenancies, Commerce lists 9.683% for 2026 and 10% for 2027. Document any exemption and include supporting facts where required. Official source
Serve the separate notice
The statewide rule generally requires 90 days’ advance written notice. Use the statutory form and proper service; inserting higher rent in this renewal does not serve the notice. Official source
Local rules and completion
Seattle has an additional timeline
Seattle generally requires 180 days’ written notice for housing cost increases and city-specific content. Increases reaching 10% within 12 months can trigger a separate relocation assistance notice; check the applicable threshold and required service. Official source
Maintain a complete record
Keep the original lease, signed renewal, applicable disclosures and notices, and records showing how and when the notices were served.
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.
