Normally rent variation based on start time of lease is minimal; I might give a lower rent to fill vacancy in winter for example, but otherwise i try to get a fari market rent (not always max market rent).But since you know when the hot season is, you want to time your lease renewal in that area to be during that hot time of the year, so you might end up with a lease for some number of months that isn't a multiple of 12 to do that.
