FAQs
What is a lease renewal letter?
A lease renewal letter is a written notice offering a tenant the option to renew their existing lease. It typically outlines the proposed new lease term, rent amount, current lease expiration date, and a deadline for the tenant to respond.
When should a landlord send a lease renewal letter?
As a general rule, landlords should start the renewal process around 60–90 days before the existing lease expires. This gives the tenant time to decide and gives the landlord enough time to find a new tenant if they choose not to renew. Always check your state and local notice requirements.
What should be included in a lease renewal letter?
Include the landlord and tenant names, rental property address, current lease expiration date, proposed renewal term, new rent amount if applicable, and a deadline for the tenant to accept or decline the offer.
Can a landlord increase the rent when renewing a lease?
Generally, yes, but rent increases may be restricted by state or local laws, particularly in areas with rent control or rent stabilization. Landlords should check the applicable rules and provide any required notice before increasing the rent.
What happens if the tenant agrees to renew the lease?
If the tenant accepts the renewal offer, the landlord should prepare a new lease agreement or appropriate renewal document setting out the agreed terms for both parties to sign. If the tenant declines, the landlord may need to provide a non-renewal notice and begin preparing the property for a new tenant.
