CRE 101 - Tenants Lease is Expiring This Month - What is the best time to submit a lease renewal?
Also, is there a strategy to use when the tenant isnt signing the renewal, leading into the expiration? Meaning lease expires 10/31/2022, do some landlords raise the next months rent very high so that the tenant signs the amendment due to the pressure?

Im asking because Ive heard of some LL doing that.
[{"id": "is7cs9d", "text": "This should be settled beforehand in the lease. Typically, the Landlord will request Tenant to give 6 months' notice of renewal intention. The rate at which the renewal option will continue at is generally set within the lease (Ex: Renewal option to continue with 3% annual increases). \n\nSometimes it's left open: At a rate to be negotiated. If the tenant indicates that they will not be exercising their option, LL will ask their listing broker to begin advertising said space.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "is7cwid", "text": "Does the existing lease not have a holdover clause?", "replies": [{"id": "is7m50e", "text": "Op wouldn\u2019t know a holdover clause unless it but him in the ass.", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "is7ytdq", "text": "The best to submit a renewal would be 6 months ago", "replies": [{"id": "is8x0gl", "text": "This would be the correct answer.

I have this situation now.  I have a commercial space coming off of a 5 year lease.  I contacted the tenant 6-8 months ago about a renewal and got a luke warm reception.  I was trying to offer a 2 year renewal but the tenant balked.  I don't get the feeling they want to move, but just that they don't want to commit medium-long term.  I think if I forced a renewal they would just end the lease and leave.  Right now, staying is just \"easy.\"\n\nI made the decision to just let them go month to month.  I'm hoping it just goes along status quo.  If I had more market power I would treat things a little different.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
