About this template
Lease renewals are one of the highest-leverage moments in property management. Retaining an existing tenant costs a fraction of what it takes to find, screen, and onboard a new one — and vacancy periods mean lost revenue on top of turnover costs. Yet many landlords and property managers handle renewals reactively, reaching out only after a tenant has already decided to leave. A proactive renewal request process flips this dynamic.
Sending a renewal request form 60 to 90 days before lease end signals to the tenant that you value their continued tenancy. It gives you advance notice of move-outs, time to negotiate terms if needed, and early warning of any issues — like a pet the tenant has been keeping quietly — that need to be addressed in the new lease. The form also collects intent in a structured, documented format, rather than relying on a text or verbal conversation that may be misunderstood.
formformform makes it easy to build the renewal request form once and send the same link to every tenant approaching their lease end. Whether you manage three units or three hundred, the process is identical — and every response lands in your dashboard with the tenant's full contact info, current lease end date, and renewal preference captured in one place.

Best practices for your lease renewal request
60 days is usually the minimum notice requirement, but 90 gives you time to negotiate, prepare the new lease, and list the unit if the tenant declines.
not everyone reads emails promptly. A phone call or text reminder a week after sending the form increases your response rate significantly.
tenants who list changes are opening a negotiation. Respond quickly and see what you can accommodate to retain them.
an undisclosed occupant can affect insurance, rent pricing, and lease terms. The form creates a documented record of the tenant's disclosure.
the ratio of renewals to non-renewals across your portfolio is a leading indicator of property satisfaction and pricing competitiveness.
if you include a note about a small rent discount or one-time credit for early renewal, response rates tend to climb sharply.
Frequently asked questions
Can a tenant submit this form if they want to move out instead of renew?
Yes. The renewal intent radio includes a 'No — I will be moving out' option, which effectively functions as a soft move-out notice and triggers your vacancy planning workflow.
What happens after a tenant submits a renewal request?
You receive an email notification with the full submission. Your leasing team can then follow up with a formal renewal offer, negotiate any requested changes, and draft the new lease agreement.
Can I offer month-to-month renewals through this form?
Yes. Month-to-month is included in the lease length dropdown by default. You can add, remove, or rename options in the form editor to reflect your available terms.
How do I handle a tenant who wants to add an occupant?
The form flags this in the new occupant radio field. You can then require the new occupant to complete a rental application and background check before amending the lease.
Is this form a legally binding renewal agreement?
No. This is a request form, not a contract. It collects the tenant's intent and preferences, which your team then uses to prepare a formal renewal lease agreement for signature.
