Signing a second year Lease?

Question

Is it legal for a landlord to insist that a second year-long lease be signed at the end of the first year of tenancy?  I was not informed when I signed the original tenancy for one year that I would be required to sign continual year-to-year leases.  At the end of my first year I wanted to I rent on a month-to-month tenancy as I was not sure of my plans for the following year, but was informed by the Property Management Company that I had the choice of signing for a further year or moving.  I was in no position to move at that time and felt under duress to sign - blackmailed in fact into signing for a second year.

well yes of course...why would it not be legal?  they can insist on the tenant signing for ten years if they want to.  the tenent certainly has the right and option of not signing and not living there.

Year to year contracts are a very common leasing practice.

Do not ever feel as though you have to sign anything, you have that decision - another year lease or move. Any court in the world would see that as a fare option. Only time the option would be deemed unfit or unfair is if you were given hours or a few days to decide. But a month? That is very fare.

in the experience that your secure practices deposit is meant to be equivalent to a month and a a million/2's hire and your hire has long previous up, particular. $40 5 is a million a million/2 cases the quantity of the upward push, so it fairly is spot on. it fairly is the owner's decision even if if or to no longer implement this - appears like countless the different places you have rented from the two have not, or did no longer replace your hire mutually as you have been there.
