Questions
Lease Expiration Manager questions
Why spread lease expirations?
Too many leases ending in slow months leaves units vacant longer. Spreading expirations to match demand keeps occupancy steadier.
How does it recommend renewal terms?
For each lease expiring in the next 150 days it suggests a term that lands the new expiration in a month under its target.
Does it suggest renewal rents?
Yes, from market rent, your renewal cap and floor, and how much loss to lease you want to capture.
