• Why is Lease End Tracking Important?
  • Prevents financial losses from missed renewals.

• 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.
