Lease renewal timeline
A 120-day renewal process. Start early so the offer reaches the tenant before they decide whether to move.
Use the renewal vs turnover calculator to compare what a renewal and a turnover would cost the owner. Send the offer early enough that the tenant hears from you before deciding to look elsewhere. Some states and cities also set a minimum notice for rent increases or non-renewal. Check your state page.
