Hi,
I have been renting for 2 years at this property in Brisbane. After 1 year I requested a month on month lease, which according to the agent was not acceptable by the owner and did a 6 month and because of pandemic I extended for another 6 months (with a rent increase and I sucked up the cost). Now they have come back with 1 year with no other option.
Ideally I would like month on month and happy to give 2 months notice. In my previous rental, this was not a problem, but the agent here is too rigid. I would like to move out as soon as it is safe to do so.
What are my options? want to be polite and want to go with short term lease (want to buy a property and move out) and I need to reply soon.
Any help and suggestions would be great. I don't want to be thrown out (have had excellent payment and cleanliness history) but want to negotiate a short term lease.
So your contract is almost up? Give notice and move out.
If the owner doesn''t want that, then you don't have that option.
