Lease renewal notice question checklist for property managers

Use this worksheet before an AI assistant, leasing coordinator, resident-services inbox, or renewal workflow answers a tenant question about renewal notices, deadlines, rent changes, fees, term options, concessions, or move-out timing. It keeps the reply tied to verified lease and policy records.

When to use it

STOP AUTOMATION: do not let AI or a front-desk script interpret lease rights, legal notice periods, rent-control rules, fee waivers, non-renewal decisions, concessions, move-out deadlines, deposit outcomes, or policy exceptions. Route those items to the property manager, owner, accounting reviewer, or legal/process reviewer.
