§ 6706 Lease Renegotiation Authority

Key Takeaways

  • •The government and the person renting land can make a new rental deal anytime, even if the old one isn't over yet.
  • •The new deal can last up to 20 years.
  • •The new deal must be good for the state (like a good deal for the government).

Example

Imagine you rent a park from the city to run a food truck. After 5 years, you and the city think a new deal would be better for both of you.

You and the city can sit down and make a new rental agreement, even if the old one isn’t done yet. The new deal could last up to 20 years, but it has to be fair and good for the city too.
