How to Propose a Lease Renewal
-
In the sidebar, select Leasing.
-
Select Open on the active lease you want to renew. You can also start from the Lease expirations card on your Dashboard: select Renew next to the lease.
-
Select Propose renewal.
⚠️ Heads up: Propose renewal appears only on an active lease with no renewal or termination already in progress. If you started a termination, finish or cancel it first.
-
In the Propose renewal window, check Proposed monthly rent. It starts at the current rent. Change it if you want a new rent.
-
Check New start date and New end date. They start on the day after the lease ends and run for one year.
⚠️ Heads up: The proposed rent must be above 0. The end date must be after the start date, or the window shows “End must be after start” and Send offer stays disabled.
-
Choose a Payment method, or leave Inherit from current lease.
-
Enter a Note to tenant if you want to add a message. It is optional.
- Select Send offer.
What to expect
The lease shows Renewal Proposed and Waiting on the tenant, with the date they must respond by, the rent and the new term. Your tenant can accept, counter or decline.
- If the tenant counters, the lease shows Renewal Countered and Your turn to respond. Select Accept, Counter or Decline.
- If the tenant accepts, the lease shows Accepted — ready to execute. Continue with How to Execute an Accepted Renewal.
- To take the offer back, select Withdraw renewal.
