Renew a lease or prepare for move-out

Choose a renewal or move-out plan and review each remaining task.

The Expiring view covers the next 90 days. Review the agreement and applicable notice requirements before changing the tenancy.

Step 1: Review the lease summary

Open Summary and check the end date. Under What next?, choose Start renewal or Start move-out. This records a plan; it does not sign an agreement or end the tenancy.

Review renewal and move-out choices. Neither has been selected.

Step 2: Prepare a renewal

Discuss the term and rent. Use Review renewal, then Prepare renewal, Use addendum or Upload document as appropriate. Review signatures before agreed changes take effect.

Step 3: Update the tenancy records

Review lease details in Settings and Review rent charges in Payments. Changing a term does not update existing charges. Check the agreement before choosing month-to-month.

Rentari Lease Settings with Lease length, dates and the month-to-month end setting.
Review the dates and what happens when the term ends.

Step 4: Confirm move-out details

Agree on the date, final rent, cleaning, keys and inspection. Record the agreed move-out date when ready. Use Start marketing or Review listing to prepare the vacancy.

Step 5: Complete the move-out tasks

Compare condition reports. Keep repair receipts with Record expenses. Use Review deposit return to review deductions and applicable deadlines; marking the step reviewed does not return funds.

Step 6: End the record when appropriate

Check final balances and recurring charges. Use End lease in the Move-out summary or Settings > How do I end this lease?. After confirmation, check Past. Unpaid balances remain payable.

Rentari Settings with How do I end this lease expanded and End lease untouched.
The end-of-lease explanation is open. The lease has not been ended.
