What does this mean on my lease?

There is no negaoting with you over the new rent. They inform you. If you do not pay they evict you for non-payment.

Thre is nothing odd here, it is all pretty standard.

The odd thing is you wanting an eviction on your credit report, that is pretty weird.

It just means when your lease is up, you can expect if you go month to month, that your rent will increase. If you give your notice in October to vacate at the end of the month, then you need to be out by the end of the month. If you aren't sure you are going to be able to find a place, that's another story.

I would imagine the landlord should approach you in some fashion and ask what your plans are either in mid Sept or before the beginning of October so they can make plans themselves. If you aren't sure, then you need to say you won't be extending the lease but would need another month (or whatever) to find a place. It is at this time that the landlord if he wants to raise the rent, should take the opportunity to send you a letter outlining that the rent will be XXX in November.

Don't let this get to a point where you are being evicted. There is no reason for that if you plan things out.

After the lease ends you can continue to rent on a monthly basis.The N/A is there so that the landlord is not locked into a specific rent if he decides that he wants to raise it at lease end. Some landlords do not like renting month to month because of the uncertainty of when the tenant may leave. To offset that uncertainty sometimes they raise the rent once a lease ends to coerce the tenant into another lease.

I had the same situation.My last lease was 6 months and close to the end of the lease I got a notice from the management team asking me if I wanted to sign another lease (6, 9 or 12 months of my choice) with them or if I wanted to move out. The longest lease (12 months) was cheapest of course because it guarantees them my stay and of course, my money. The 6 month lease was most expensive ($30 more). They asked me to either sign any of the new leases or let them know if I decided move out.

If I decided not to let them know my lease would be automatically switched to month to month basis because by that time my old lease would end already yet I was not on my new lease. Usually month to month rate is much more expensive than the rest because they don't know what to expect when you're moving out and it would be more work for the manager people with new tenants constantly moving in and out. The month to month option that they gave me was $200 more than 6 month lease.

Bottom line is that you need to figure out if you want to stay. If you're not going to stay then at some point in September you need to send a certified letter (with receipt) to your landlord of your intention to move out. If you're going to stay then you need to get in writing at some point in September the amount the rent will continue at. If you landlord drags it out then towards the end of September you could send a note that without knowing the amount of the rent that it is your intention to move out. But, if they provide the amount of the rent to you, and it is acceptable, that you'll respond with your intentions within five days (for example) of learning the amount of the rent.

The landlord should have filled out the amount so there would be no question as to the amount that the rent would continue at. AND, you should have asked why "N/A" was written there prior to signing the rent.

It basically means after your lease is up well 30 days before let the landlord know you're leaving, if you did not give notice you have to pay rent month to month

You're correct, but your lease isn't up until October 31st so no decisions need to be made until September 30th. Chances are you'll receive a notice about renewing your lease shortly.
