GPL conducts an annual review of the lease for each our tenant. The Annual Lease Renewal is conducted around October each year.
We always keep our rent price well below the the current rental market.
For each Tenant, we compare your current rent price vs the current market price and determine how much the difference is.
We only increase the rent if the difference is too large to catch up.
If you received a renewed lease with a rent increase with a google doc link, please follow up the lease renewal instruction:
If you opt out of signing the lease, you accept the lease by default by paying the required amount starting Jan 1, 2024. You may keep the copy of the lease in the lease folder for your record.
If you have financial difficulties to meet the rent increase requirement, please do the followings.
Please submit a new rental application using the application template below.
We will re-evaluate your financial situation.
For Housing Section 8 Tenants, we also send the rent increase notice to the Housing Authority to review and approve.
Annual Lease Renewal is conducted around September for Housing Section 8 Renters each year.
