We hate being landlords, and would like to sell our rental townhouse. The lease is up on Oct. 31st, 2013.
The lease states that either party can give notice to the other 90 days before the lease is up, so I'm preparing a letter to the tenants which they should receive tomorrow.
Unfortunately the timing is terrible, since by the time we get the unit ready for sale it will be The Holidays, and then Snow Season, when hardly anybody looks at houses. So we would like to offer them the opportunity to stay until early 2014, in the very modest hope they'll take us up on it (the carrot is that their rent is only 85% of current market rates).
What do you think of this wording: (I don't think it's their business why we choose not to renew, do you?)
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Tenant:
This letter is to inform you that we have chosen not to renew the lease on Dwelling, which expires on October 31, 2013. If agreeable to you, we would be happy to extend the lease month-to-month until February 28, 2014.
We have enjoyed having you as tenants and wish you the very best.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Amethyst
