Key Points:
What is Lease End Tracking? It's the practice of systematically monitoring the expiration dates of your tenants leases.
Why is Lease End Tracking Important?
Prevents financial losses from missed renewals.
Avoids legal issues arising from unclear lease agreements.
Enhances resident satisfaction by ensuring a smooth renewal process.
What is Lease Phasing? It's the strategic distribution of lease expirations throughout the year to avoid overwhelming vacancy spikes.
Benefits of Lease Phasing:
Maintains consistent occupancy rates.
Reduces resident turnover and the associated costs (maintenance, marketing).
Allows for better budgeting and resource allocation for move-out preparations.
Strategies for Effective Lease Phasing:
Analyze historical lease data to identify peak leasing seasons in your market.
Aim for less than 10% of your units expiring in any given month.
Consider offering short-term leases (3, 6, or 9 months) to achieve a gradual phasing.
Clearly communicate your lease renewal process and goals to residents and property management teams.
Myth Buster: Lease end tracking and phasing are essential for All multifamily properties, regardless of size. Smaller properties can be even more significantly impacted by neglecting these practices.
Adventurous Family Call to Action:
For property owners: Ensure your property managers understand the importance of lease end tracking and phasing.
For owner-operators: Review your lease data to assess your current phasing strategy and implement improvements if necessary.
Memorable Quotes:
" Making sure that if you own multifamily or if you're working with an operator making sure that they understand the lease end phasing and lease end tracking. If you are an owner operator dig into your rental. See if you have, this phased out properly. See if you are tracking your lease end and dates."
