Lease renewal letter template
Tell a tenant their lease is ending, offer a new term and ask for an answer by a date. The letter fills in as you type.
A renewal letter is an offer. The lease itself and your local rules decide what is binding. This is a fill-in template, not legal advice. Rules on receipts, notice and rent changes depend on where the home is and on the lease.

When to send it
Many landlords write one to two months before a lease ends, which leaves time to answer and, if the tenant declines, to find someone new. Your lease or local rules may set a particular window, so read them first.
What it covers
- When the current lease ends and when the new term starts and ends
- The rent in the new term, whether it stays the same or changes
- A date to reply by
A letter is an offer; a signed lease is what binds both sides. This is a fill-in template, not legal advice. Rules on receipts, notice and rent changes depend on where the home is and on the lease.
Questions
Is a renewal letter a contract?
No. It is an offer. A renewed lease usually needs a new signed agreement or an addendum, depending on your lease and local rules.
What if I want to raise the rent too?
Enter the new rent. The letter states the change. Check the notice rules for rent changes where you live.
