07/23/2018 <br />42A.4 Requirement to Offer Minimum Lease Terms <br />A. Offer. If a tenant or prospective tenant wishes to rent a rental unit from a landlord <br />and the landlord wishes to rent the rental unit to the tenant or prospective tenant, <br />the landlord must offer to the tenant or prospective tenant a written lease which <br />has a minimum term of one (1) year. Offers must be made in writing. Signing of a <br />lease which has a minimum term of one (1) year shall be considered an offer in <br />writing. <br />B. Acceptance. If the tenant or prospective tenant accepts the offer of a written <br />lease which has a minimum term of one (1) year, this acceptance must be in <br />writing. Signing a lease which has a minimum term of one (1) year will be <br />considered an acceptance. <br />C. Rejection. If the tenant or prospective tenant rejects the offer for a written lease <br />which has a minimum term of one (1) year, this rejection must be in writing, and <br />the landlord and tenant or prospective tenant may then enter into an agreement, <br />oral or written, that provides for a rental term of less than one (1) year. <br />D. Rent. If the landlord and tenant enter into a written lease which has a minimum <br />term of one (1) year, such lease must set the rent for the rental unit at a rate or <br />rates certain and these rates shall not otherwise be modified during the term of <br />such lease. <br />E. Renewal of Lease. So long as both the landlord and tenant wish to continue the <br />rental relationship, upon the expiration of the initial written lease, or any lease <br />renewal thereafter, which has a minimum term of one (1) year, a lease shall be <br />offered again in accordance with the procedures of subsections A -D above. If, <br />however, either the landlord or tenant does not wish to continue the rental <br />relationship, then there shall be no obligation for the landlord to offer, or for the <br />tenant to accept, any renewal of the lease. <br />F. Applicability. This section shall not apply to: <br />1. A unit which is rented on or before the effective date of the ordinance <br />codified in this chapter, provided that, (A) if the unit is rented subject to a <br />written lease, when the lease in effect for such unit expires, the ordinance <br />codified in this chapter shall then apply; and (B) if the unit is rented without <br />a written lease, the landlord shall offer a written lease to the tenant in <br />accordance with this section, at the time of lease renewal; or <br />2. An owner -occupied unit that is rented to a tenant for less than one (1) <br />year; or <br />3.
