Yes, a lease can automatically renew in Washington D.C. Most rental agreements will automatically renew when the initial tenancy period is over, if neither party takes action. Past this point, the lease typically becomes a month-to-month rental agreement, with the same basic terms and conditions otherwise as the original lease. In some cases, such as if rent is being paid weekly, the lease may become a week-to-week lease.
