She needs to move when the lease ends. The law is with her, so long as she moves. |

NO the law is NOT with her. The landlord owns the apartment and can ask her to leave when her lease is up, regardless whether she's an excellent or poor tenant. She needs apartment for her relatives and it's her right to let them have the apartment. Period.
Your friend should start looking for a new place, and ask the landlord for a good reference because of her good payment history. It's not personal against her, and it's entirely legal and fair and kosher. |

Most states only require a 30 day notice. She should be thankful that she has 5 months notice. |

No. When the lease is up, its up. Time to move on. |

the landlord does not have to resign the lease. As long as she is no longer in contract with your friend she has fulfilled her comitment. It sucks but your friend has to move. Sorry |

I can't tell but I'm assuming you're in the US. If not, then update with what country because it may matter.
In the US however, the lease is the agreement that is binding and when its up it is at the discretion of the leasor (the one who leases the place) to decide to continue or not.
There is nothing that procludes them from either not renting it or renting it to someone else.
Now, if there is something in the lease that says the leasee (the one who rents it) has a right to renew then they can. I truly doubt that will be there.
Sorry. |

When the lease expires it expires. She needs to find elswhere to live.
This would be an excellent opportunity to get a good reference from the landlord, as Im sure the landlord is feeling guilty. Dont forget to ask the landlord to include in the reference, why the lease was not renewed. Not because of a bad tenant but other circumstances not relating to the tenant. |

it really depends. I am in NJ. If your friend lives in a property that is more than 4 units if owner occupied, then they cannot ask her to move out. If it is less than 4 units and the owner lives in one of the property they can ask her to move out.
If it is a single family property and the landlord is not moving back in, she is required to get a renewal lease. Only way to get a paying tenant out is by the landlord moving back in.
She could force her landlords hand... but it probably would not be beneficial in the long run. Because unless she lives somewhere rent controlled, the landlord could just raise the rent to an unreasonable amount.
I hope this helps |

What she will have to do when her lease is up is be prepared to move. A landlord can take back his property any time he wants with 30 days written notice. Your friend is getting until September. It doesn't matter that she has paid on time. She can't stay when the landlord wants her out. |

Since the lease is up in Sept. the landlord needs to give proper notice of lease termination.
The tenant can stay till the lease termination date then move. |

No, the law is with the landlord. The landlord is entirely within his/her rights to not sign another lease with a person. No reason has to be given at all really. So, I'd advise your friend to get ready to move. I agree with another poster to ask for references from that landlord because your friend has paid on time each month. Good luck. |
