What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NC
New to this site and I have a couple of questions. I have a lease that expires on 9-14-10. Lease expires in about 45 days. I want to stay, if the Landlord wants me to go does he have to give me written notice that the lease isn't going to be renewed? How much notice does he have to give me if he decides not to renew?

Yes, must be in writing. How long have you been there?
Gonna disagree slightly but only because we don't the lease in front of us. My answer would be that it is possible for the lease to end without any further notice.


ETA: Perhaps the OP should communicate with the LL on this... ;)

I have the feeling the OP has gotten hints from the landlord that he will not be renewing the lease and is trying to find out if Just the landlord telling him this is enough.

Depending on what your lease says about the end of the lease, is what has to happen.

Does it say notice needs to be given or it auto renews? Does it say the end of the lease is the end and you then go to month to month? Does it say that at the end of the lease, you have to move?

What does it say, I can wait.

It says at the end of the lease it turns into a month to month tenancey.
Then you have your answer.

The lease does not automatically renew as a long Iterm lease, but instead converts to a month-to-month as of 9-14-10.

That means the LL will do one of 3 things before that date:

He will do nothing and allow the lease to expire with no further notice, at which point the tenancy becomes month-to-month;

He will present you with a new lease to sign for another term;

Or he will give you notice to end the tenancy altogether. If he takes the option, unless your lease specifically states a different notice requirement, NC law says that if the LL intends to end your year-to-year tenancy, he must give you notice at least 30 days before the end of the lease to become effective upon the lease expiration date. That means he has until approx 8-14-10 to give you a 30 day notice to terminate tenancy, and that's another 2 weeks away. And NC law allows that such notice can be either oral or written, so if he says it instead of putting it in writing, the notice is just as effective.
