Kentucky Lease renewal / non-renewal notice
Does a landlord have to give notice before not renewing a lease in Kentucky?
If a lease of a year or more expires and the tenant holds over without agreement, the landlord can recover possession without notice by filing within 90 days; otherwise not until a year after the term ended. For a lease shorter than a year, the window is 30 days; if missed, the landlord must wait until 60 days after the term ended, and so on in 60-day periods.
