I am a tenant in a shop. The lease is up, and I want to renew it. The original contract stated that I had priority under the same conditions, but now the landlord wants to rent it to him.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't rent it to you.

You just have priority, but the decision whether to rent or not is still in the other party's hands.

Besides, the so-called priority is a complete joke. After he maliciously raises the price or makes things difficult for you in other ways, so that you can't renew the contract, then the contract is completed.

Then sign a new contract with others, even if it is cheaper than you, it doesn't matter to you.

However, he can't force you to move out immediately on the expiration date of the contract without explicitly asking whether you want rent or not.

If the expiration date of the contract is still unclear, you must start to move out.

If he wants to make it clear that he doesn't want to rent, he can directly discuss the time to move out.
