About the United States Lease Renewal Offer
A lease renewal offer is a unilateral notice from landlord to tenant proposing terms for an additional lease term. The notice typically includes proposed rent (with any increases), term length, and any other changed conditions. The tenant has a specified period to respond. While most U.S. jurisdictions do not require a specific format, best practice is to deliver the notice 60-90 days before the current lease end date and to clearly specify the response deadline and method.
United States Notice Framework
- No federal lease-renewal-offer statute exists
- State law varies on notice timing (typically 30-90 days)
- Rent increases may require advance notice under state law
- Rent-controlled jurisdictions have specific renewal rules
- Best practice: 60-90 day notice, 30-60 day tenant response window
What This Notice Does
- Identifies both parties and the property
- States the current lease end date and current rent
- Specifies proposed renewal term, start/end dates, and proposed rent
- Documents any proposed changes to lease terms
- Sets tenant response deadline and method
Tenant Response Process
The tenant should review the proposed renewal terms carefully and respond by the deadline specified in the notice. Acceptance typically takes the form of signing a renewal agreement. Rejection means the lease will terminate on its current end date. Tenant has the right to negotiate counteroffers and to consult an attorney. Rent-controlled jurisdictions may give tenants additional rights (right to renewal at limited increase). Verify applicable state and local law.
Re-screen your renewing tenants
Before renewing, many landlords run a fresh tenant screening to check for changes in credit, eviction filings, or criminal background. Tenant Screening Background Check has been verifying renters since 2004 — credit, eviction, criminal, and employment, all with no monthly fees.
