Can you tell me about renewing my tenancy?

Question

Accepted Answer

If your residential tenancy agreement says you have the right to renew a fixed-term tenancy, you need to let the landlord know you wish to renew not more than 90 days and not less than 21 days before the tenancy expires. If you’ve done this, the landlord can’t refuse to renew the lease. Even if you forgot to do this within the prescribed time you can still apply to the Tenancy Tribunal for the renewal or extension of the tenancy if it can be shown that you ‘would suffer greater hardship than the landlord’ (Residential Tenancies Act 1986, s60B).
