A tenant has just been told that his lease will be renewed with a proviso: Rent must be paid on time for the duration of the new lease, every month. He has been asked to sign an agreement that if his rent is not received by the landlord by the 15th of the month, the landlord will have the right to evict him as of the 16th of that month.
The tenant has not signed any such agreement as of this date. However, I wonder if this is legal.
The tenant has been in the building for some 20 years and has, in recent years, had a history of paying the rent late, including late fees, with no previous complications.
Again, I have to ask, is there any legality to the landlord's demand?
