We recommend offering your tenant a lease renewal 90 days before the lease expires. You can offer in-person, send via email, or send a letter. The goal is to receive a reply within 30 days so that you have at least 60 days to find a new tenant if your current tenant declines the renewal offer.
When a lease ends, a tenant may choose to move, continue to pay rent as a month-to-month tenant, or sign a new lease. If a tenant continues to pay rent after a lease ends, in most states the terms of the expired lease carry over into a month-to-month tenancy.
