Mod note on 'Can we require tenants to sign a new lease?'

All other LLM content will be deleted.

One comment removed for being edited/changed to just a period. Please don't do that, especially as typing only a period is a common symbol for respectful silence that is used in obituaries, so it makes no sense in this thread.
Please don't edit your comment to change its meaning. Just flag it with a note, telling us to remove it or email us.
