I’d be worried about the “let us pay rent for 3 months while we’re not there and renew for longer while on our trip that who knows what might happen”.

Tenant lease was up and I needed to renew the tenants lease with the increase.

There will be an inspection before lease is renewed.

Probably OK if existing tenant has renewed lease for one year.

You want to make it very easy for the tenants to renew early (limits their leverage) and inconvenient to leave.  

March 1, I offered to renew lease for June 1, no rent increase.

Armchair agent attorneys, mistakes agents make and don't tell you about in a transaction until the last second or after the fact, notices from real estate commissions about (agent non-compliance for continuing education, back child support owed, student loan delinquencies, IRS tax levy request notices to broker on agents part of commission payout on a transaction,non-payment for agent license renewal fees, etc.)It goes on and on and on the drama.

Tenants come and go - find out what type of leases they are and if it's M2M you can not renew their lease, get them out and screen new ones without large pets.

(I love United).Don't forget to cancel the card if a "First year annual fee" is waived" before it renews the following year.

Give them 30 day s notice or what ever time your state requires that you are not renewing the lease
