Can the board of directors deny my tenants right to renew after a lease renewal has been signed?
The property manager had notice my tenants were renewing. The lease was signed about a month ago. The association notified my tenants (not me) today that their option to renew has been denied due to a number of complaints. I received 1 letter of complaint for a get together my tenants had for New Years Eve which ended at 2 am. Can the board of directions deny the right to renew the lease after it’s been signed by both parties and there is only 20 days left of the current lease? The renewal lease would begin next month for a term of 1 year. I have gone through 5 tenants in 5 years because of renewal denials.

This is a condo correct? The board of directors may inded have the ability to block the renewal but all your dicuments need to be read here and this forum is not the place for it. There is an issue of compliance with notice to you as the owner and your rights here as well. Please seek legal help. I think that you may indeed have a leg to stand on. Good luck.
