Holdover Tenancy Notice and Renewal Offer Template

HOLDOVER TENANCY NOTICE AND RENEWAL OFFER TEMPLATE FAQ

What is a holdover tenancy notice?

A Holdover Tenancy Notice is a letter from a landlord to a tenant stating that the lease term has ended and the tenant is still in possession. The notice explains what happens next (month-to-month terms, increased rent, or a demand to vacate) and may include a renewal offer.

Is a holdover tenant automatically evicted?

No. Holdover status does not automatically remove a tenant. Landlords usually must follow local notice and eviction procedures if the tenant does not leave. This template is a notice and renewal offer, not a court eviction filing.

What should be included?

Include: the lease expiration date, current status, rent amount during holdover (if allowed), deadlines to sign a renewal or move out, and a statement that the landlord reserves rights. This template includes a simple structure and a response deadline.

Can rent be increased during holdover?

In some jurisdictions, yes (often if the lease allows it or with required notice). This template includes a customizable holdover rent section and a note to follow applicable rules.

Should you offer renewal?

Often yes if you want the tenant to stay under a new term. This template includes optional renewal terms (rent, term length, fees) and a deadline to accept.
