Here's my life - I have to mine it, farm it, trade it, tenant it, and when the lease is up it cannot be renewed.

“
So we don’t own the building,” the director said, “but we hold a ten-thousand-year lease on the space.” “You’re right. That’s magnificent.” “Nineteenth-century hubris. Imagine thinking civilization would still exist in ten thousand years. But there’s more.” She leaned forward, paused for effect. “The lease is renewable.

Capable, clever and with a natural gift for land and estate management, Anne had been the natural choice to take on the huge task of running Shibden. Not only had she impressed Uncle James with her abilities to deal with the renewal of leases and misbehaving tenants, he also knew that she would never marry and therefore the estate would not be broken up. In their conversations together, Anne had left him under no illusion that her emotional and sexual feelings for other women precluded the possibility of her ever entering into a marriage with a man, in which she stood to lose all that was hers. It was another four decades, on the passing of the Married Women’s Property Act in 1870 (thirty years after Anne’s death), before women would be able to keep hold of and inherit property following marriage. So, remarkable as it may seem to us now, it was Anne Lister’s lesbian sexuality (then with no name or legal recognition), which played a crucial role in helping her to keep control of her wealth at a time when it was thought that it was impossible for a woman to do so. That Uncle James, in 1826, seemed to understand and recognise this is even more extraordinary.

Your only viable solution might be to not renew one or both of the tenants’ leases if they can’t work through the conflict.

Seattle sports had once risen briefly to international prominence, in 1917, when the city’s professional hockey team, the Metropolitans, became the first American team to win the Stanley Cup, defeating the Montreal Canadiens. But the Metropolitans ordinarily played only in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association, and when the owner of their arena did not renew their lease in 1924, the team folded. Given

The operating system installed on the instance can make a difference on how it responds to network issues as well. For example, when an instance loses a DHCP address, Ubuntu typically continues to retry renewing the DHCP address. When the network issues are resolved, the renewal process succeeds and the IP address is restored. However, RedHat and CentOS are commonly configured by default to give up after the renewal process fails, which means that even if the network issues are resolved, the instance is no longer attempting to renew the DHCP lease and permanently stays off the network

Tell your tenant you can help them out if they want the new carpet. Tell them they can pick out the carpet they want for their home and you will pay for THEIR carpet. All they need to do is get it installed. (Believe it or not, they almost always agree to this)… tell your great resident you can do this for them only if they will agree to stay longer. Tell them you can do this for them when they renew with a three-plus-year lease or rental agreement. Now this will definitely make it worth your while.

This new year let’s review and renew.
The bond of love , support and care.
The vow to forgive, forget and spare.
The promise to understand, accept and appreciate.
The power to visualise, attract and create.
This new year let us get a new lease on life.

The number one reason tenants renew leases is because of good maintenance. The number one reason they leave is poor maintenance responsiveness.

How do you like leasing at this building? Are there any issues that you would like to discuss? If and when we close escrow, is there anything we can do to improve your stay here? How is business? Would you say your company’s finances are improving? Are your company’s finances weaker or stabilized over the past two years? When your lease expires in ______, will you be renewing? _______________ Don’t expect to be able to interview every tenant; for commercial properties you should focus on interviewing the major tenants, the ones that comprise the largest percentages of the property’s rent/lease revenues. Also prioritize interviews with tenants who are coming up for renewal in the next six months. In addition to any property issues (such as elevator problems or a disruptive tenant in the building) that you might discover in these interviews, you will be looking for anything that is at odds with what you know to be the projected tenant rollover.

as tenant leases will typically cost you to renew, especially in a tenants’ market. Typically, lease renewals on office buildings will cost you 3 percent commission for the entire term of the lease (as opposed to residential lease renewals, which normally cost nothing).

Because my investment strategy involves existing buildings vs. new construction, TI are normally restricted to new carpet and paint, so I budget about $2 per square foot for lease renewals, and $10 per square foot for new leases. (Note: While I budget $10 per square foot for TI on most commercial properties, for retail spaces I budget $20 per square foot.)

One immediate way to relieve this misery is to keep people in the homes they already have. Every minute in the United States, there are, on average, seven evictions filed—a total of roughly 3.6 million eviction filings in a typical year, according to Princeton University’s Eviction Lab. Ensuring that poor tenants have access to free legal representation, just as there’s a right to counsel in criminal cases, would help to drastically reduce this number. Other tools include direct cash assistance for vulnerable renters and laws mandating basic habitability standards. Closing the qualified contract loophole for LIHTC properties (or, better, extending affordability requirements beyond thirty years) would have kept Britt in her apartment; enacting “just cause” eviction laws—designed to shield tenants from arbitrary or retaliatory evictions and, crucially, limit the reasons a landlord can refuse to renew a lease—would have kept Maurice and Natalia in theirs. Then there’s rent control, among the most potent weapons against housing instability. Homeowners already enjoy de facto rent control in the form of the thirty-year fixed-rate mortgage. Why shouldn’t renter households be similarly secure in knowing what they’ll be paying from one year to the next?
