Hi, can I do a lease renewal with my tenant by way of a simple email or letter stating the new lease period and that the terms and conditions shall be as per the current lease agreement? Is this legally binding?

It’s a private contract 2 parties. So long as both sign with their details, it is legally binding.

Hi, I am in the midst of signing the 1st renewal of a rental lease through my property agent and he wants me to sign a Agency Agreement at the same time stating that the next renewal (means the 2nd renewal 2 years later), his commission will be one month for a 24 months lease renewal.
Can I not sign on this clause?

Hi Yvonne, yes, everything is negotiable, but these should have been stated clearly before working with the agent.
