For a written tenancy agreement, how far in advance must the landlord provide a new tenancy agreement to the tenant?

• A. 1 month before the end of the current tenancy agreement.
• B. 3 months before the end of the current tenancy agreement.
• C. 6 months before the end of the current tenancy agreement.
• D. 2 months before the end of the current tenancy agreement.

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that renewal timing is about giving enough time for both sides to review and agree to a new terms set. The minimum amount of notice required is three months before the end of the current tenancy term. This gives the tenant time to read any changes, ask questions, negotiate if needed, and sign the renewal before the existing lease expires, helping avoid gaps or confusion about which terms apply. Providing less than three months isn’t enough time to complete a proper renewal, while six months is longer than necessary but still acceptable; the important point is the three-month minimum. Therefore, three months before the end of the current term is the required timeframe.
