Renewing a Lease (Active and Expired)

When a great tenant reaches the end of their contract, you want to sign them for another year. Landager provides a dedicated "Renew" action to handle this seamlessly, ensuring your historical data remains intact while setting up the new terms.

How to Renew a Lease

To renew a lease, you do not need to manually edit the old lease's end date or create a brand new lease from scratch. Instead, use the built-in renewal feature:

1. Navigate to the LeasesPreview unavailable list.
2. Find the active lease you want to renew and click "Renew".
3. Enter the new Start Date and End Date (or leave the end date blank for a month-to-month agreementPreview unavailable).
4. Enter the new Rent Amount.
5. Attach the newly signed PDF renewal document to the lease.
6. Save the renewal.

What Happens When You Renew

When you renew a lease, Landager handles the transition automatically:

• Scheduled Status: The new lease is created in a dormant "Scheduled" status.
• Security Deposit: The held security deposit is automatically carried over to the new lease.
• Rent Adjustments: If the rent amount goes up, the tenant automatically receives a rent adjustment email.
• Automatic Transition: When the start date of the new lease arrives (in your time zone), Landager automatically closes the previous lease (setting its end date to the day before) and activates the new one. You never have two active leases on the same unit, and your historical paper trail is perfectly preserved!
