Quick answer

Issue it around the ninety-day mark before a lease expires: tenants state stay-or-leave, rent tolerance, preferred term and any friction, letting landlords plan vacancies instead of reacting to a surprise. It records intent, not a signed renewal — the new agreement is still drawn up and executed separately.

Disclaimer: an intention survey for planning; it is not a new lease, rent demand or notice of any kind.

Follows the renewal-outreach cadence used by portfolio managers at T-90 days.

About this template

The ninety-day window before a lease ends decides the next year of income, and it is usually managed by guesswork. This intention form asks tenants four plain questions — renew or move, acceptable rent band, desired term, and what would make renewing easier — plus one free line. Landlords learn vacancy risk months earlier, price renewals within stated tolerance, and fix the one or two issues holding good tenants back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is asking this risky — does it invite tenants to shop?
Not asking is riskier; tenants who were never asked leave silently. The intention form reads as care, and the band data lets offers land where they get yeses.
Should rent bands really be collected from tenants?
As tolerance, not as a demand list — it gives the renewal conversation an honest middle ground before anyone guesses at bluffs.
What if most of the block wants to leave?
Early warning is the point: stagger renewals, budget the fixes named, and start marketing vacant units with lead time.
Does an intention answer bind anyone?
Nobody — the lease paperwork follows separately; this only plans who should get which offer first.
Can managers send it for a whole portfolio?
Yes — one form per property or a unit-code field across many; the renewal view reads like a departure board.
When is the follow-up?
Within a week of each answer: a thank-you, the in-band offer or a good-farewell plan. Speed is what makes tenants answer next time.
