In this instance, if you were to click Renewing, you'll be taken to the Renew Tenancy screen.

  1. Tick the Create Periodic Tenancy? box to create a periodic tenancy if the tenant is renewing as periodic
  2. If the tenant is renewing for a fixed term, add the Term and the new dates update accordingly
  3. In the Payment Details section, if the rent is increasing, add the new Rent Amount (£) and Rent Frequency
  4. In the Management Details section, confirm the Management Type, Management Fee and Management Fee Type and amend if required
  5. In the Property Inspections section, tick the Schedule Inspections Now? box and confirm the Inspection Frequency for the new fixed term
  6. In the Documents section, if the tenancy is for a fixed term, tick the Create Tenancy Pack box. This will offer an option to create a new tenancy agreement and standing order form, once the details are saved
    1. If the tenancy is periodic, untick the box  
  7. Click Save

When the current term is due to end (within the next 30 days) you'll receive notice via the Property Management section of My Dashboard, that the tenancy is due to be renewed.  This appears in Tenancies to be renewed in the next 30 days. 

To finalise the renewal, on the tenancy, click the Renewal tab and click Set To Renewed.

 Warning

Renewing the tenancy when there is a rent increase or management fee change will automatically update the rent amount and management fee charged. Therefore, the tenancy should not be Set to Renewed until the last rent has been demanded on the previous term

 Note

The renewals communication can also be bulk actioned via the Property Management section of My Dashboard
