Question by joefishal: During a lease renewal can a landlord make you pay more money on a deposit you have already made?
I have just signed a renewal lease that raises my rent by 3%.
My landlord also wants that extra 3% tacked onto the deposit, which I had paid several years ago after moving in. Do you have to also up the price on your deposit? It sounds fishy to me.

What lease term is more favourable to the landlord of a rental home, 6 months or 12 months?

I’m wondering if landlords for rental houses prefer tenants who want short lease terms (3 or 6 months) or long lease terms (12 months)?

And if they do prefer long lease terms, do they prefer it to be as long as possible, or generally only 12 months?

What generally determines what length of time the landlord prefers to lease the house for?

I am asking because I want to know what would make me a more favourable applicant for a rental property. Thanks!

I have to renew my lease in June and my sister desperately wants me to help her get an apartment by May. In order to do so I will have to be a co-applicant on her lease. Will I still be able to renew my lease if I do so?
