Frequently asked questions
Do I need this instead of a new lease?
If the tenant is staying and most terms are unchanged, a renewal is simpler than a full new lease. If a lot is changing (new tenants, major rule changes), a fresh lease is cleaner.
Can I raise the rent with this document?
Yes — set the new monthly rent for the renewal term. Some states cap how much or how often rent can increase; verify your state's rule before finalizing the amount.
