Do you try to have leases renew during the "Good Months"?

[Adam Craig]

I have a couple rentals right now on the market that would have been snatched up this past spring. I can always lower the rent and a bit and still cash flow nicely and rent them. But I seem to rent quicker and get a premium on rent if I market from early spring to mid summer.

Does anyone else experience the same seasons and do you try and make sure your leases renew during a good rental time? 

I feel the only downside would be having more turnover in a short concentration of months instead of spread out through the year which is not a big deal.

Sure, so many people try to move during the spring summer months especially in areas with lots of families with school-age children.  Also Thanksgiving. Xmas are tough because there are other priorities for people/  We will definitely try to NOT end a lease during Nov/ Dec
