Renewals & Notices

Renewals vs. notices

These are two related tools that handle the back half of a tenancy:

• A renewal carries an existing lease forward with new terms, typically a new end date and an updated rent, and generates fresh documents for the tenant to sign.
• A lease notice is a formal notification you serve a tenant, such as a rent-increase notice. Notices are about communicating a change, not re-signing the whole agreement.

Renewing a lease

A renewal preserves the link between the unit and its tenants while updating the financial terms, then produces an updated agreement to sign, so you're not rebuilding the lease from scratch.

1. Go to Rentals → Renewals and start a renewal for the lease that's coming due.
2. Set the new term and the updated rent and charges.
3. Generate the renewal document, which carries the new terms into a signable agreement.
4. Send it for e-signature the same way you would any lease document. See Contract Documents & E-Signing.

Issuing notices

Lease Notices can be produced in a few ways depending on how many leases you're dealing with:

• Individually — generate a single notice for one lease.
• In batches — produce notices for a selected group of leases at once.
• Via Bulk Rent Increase — apply a rent increase across many leases simultaneously, generating the matching notices for each in one pass.

Each notice can be downloaded as a PDF, and you can preview the email before it goes out so you know exactly what the tenant will receive.

Producing a notice

1. Go to Rentals → Lease Notices to create a notice for one lease or a batch.
2. For a rent increase across many leases at once, use Rentals → Bulk Rent Increase .
3. Preview the email and the PDF to confirm the wording, amounts, and effective dates.
4. Download the PDF and/or send the notice to the tenant.
