My tenants are ending their lease at the end of Feb. I have the Lease Renewal Form from the Book on Managing Rental Properties which I'm filling out. Rents have increased significantly here but I like my tenants and want to keep them. Current rent is $1650, and I'll send them a 3% increase on renewal, so about $1699. How much do you typically raise for a 6 month lease renewal or month to month? Fort Myers, FL
At the end of a lease in this area, it's common to offer tenants the options to sign an annual, 6 month, or month to month lease. 6 month leases will come at a 10-25% premium, while opting for a month to month lease often comes at a 25-50% premium. All of these numbers can obviously be adjusted based on which proposed lease you ultimately want your tenants to sign
