No need to say why.

I just answered this question here.

Please don't start multiple threads for the same issue.

As noted, please do not post the same question in different places. I've merged your threads for you. If you need to ask a follow-up use the Answer This Question options.

This actually depends on local laws. For example, NJ has very strict rules governing not renewing a lease. But most areas do not require any reason for not renewing a lease at termination.

You also need to review the lease. There may be an automatic renewal clause if you do not inform the tenant by a specified time frame that you will not be renewing.
