risk level indicator at Medium level

The Legal Risk Score of a Notice of Non-Renewal of Lease (Fixed Term Residential Lease) Template is Medium

Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:

  • The document may be in breach of the lease agreement and residential tenancy legislation if not drafted and delivered properly.
  • There is no mention of the process or conditions under which the tenant should vacate the property, potentially leading to issues with property condition or disputes over the state of the premises at the end of the lease.
  • The notice does not specify any consequences or penalties if the tenant fails to vacate by the specified date, which may result in difficulties enforcing the move-out if the tenant does not comply.
