Contracts
A Washington commercial lease requires the tenant to provide 6 months' notice of intent to renew. The tenant forgets and gives only 3 months' notice. The landlord may:
AWaive the requirement and accept the late notice
BStrictly enforce the notice requirement and refuse to renew the lease✓ Correct
CRequire the tenant to pay double rent for the late notice period
DOnly offer a short-term extension of 3 months
Explanation
Commercial lease notice provisions are typically strictly enforced. The landlord may elect to hold the tenant to the letter of the lease, refusing to renew and requiring the tenant to vacate at lease expiration. However, the landlord can also choose to waive the notice defect — that is the landlord's right.
