Quick Overview
Review upcoming renewals by lease date, unresolved service issues, payment history, communication gaps, and known household changes. The purpose is not to predict a tenant's decision. It is to surface the work that should happen before the notice window closes.
Common Mistakes
Do not use a single renewal score without reading the underlying record. A resident with perfect payment history may still have an unresolved habitability concern. Keep policy decisions separate from the task of gathering facts.
Common Questions Answered
How early should the review begin?
Set a repeatable lead time that matches local notice rules and the portfolio's operating capacity. The right interval is the one that leaves enough time for a fair conversation and documented follow-up.

Use the tenant communication guide for message hygiene and the closeout checklist for record completion. Review applicable guidance from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
