In a blue state I would probably eat the $600, but no way I would renew them at the end of their lease.

I'm getting married in the next year and starting a family, and we plan to move out when that happens, which means that even if I went through the permitting process now and was granted a rental permit w/the town, I knew that ultimately I was going to find myself screwed when the time came to get a renewal on it (every 2 years), and I wasn't able to prove that the property was still owner-occupied.

When we went back to our hometown I decided to not renew my certifications for fire and EMS.

The national office market is showing signs of stabilization as major corporate tenants like Bank of America, Fannie Mae, Bain Capital, and Verizon commit to large lease renewals.

Tenant strategy includes screening tenants, offering favorable lease renewals, and considering a buyout option.

Those get paid before rent, so they will likely be behind on rent by the time you get to court.Finally, I would not renew their lease.

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

As you are aware they continue to close stores and are not renewing in many locations.

If they request flooring, refrigerators or other higher cost items, I let them know we can discuss those things with their lease renewal. 

in Florida I know of several renewals in the last 60 days that came in with a decrease in the premium with as much as 20%.
