Lease Renewal Agreement Template

LEASE RENEWAL AGREEMENT TEMPLATE FAQ

What is a lease renewal agreement?

A Lease Renewal Agreement is a written agreement that extends an existing lease for an additional term. It confirms the new start and end dates for the renewal period and can update terms like rent amount, utilities, or other lease provisions while keeping the rest of the original lease in effect.

Is this the same as a new lease?

Not necessarily. Many renewals simply extend the current lease and list changes. If many terms change, the parties may prefer signing a new lease. This template is designed for a renewal that mostly keeps the original lease intact.

What should be included?

Include: the original lease date, property address, names of landlord and tenant(s), renewal term dates, new rent (if changed), whether the deposit carries over, and any specific changes. This template includes a “no other changes” clause for clarity.

Can rent be increased at renewal?

Often yes, subject to the lease terms and applicable law. This template includes a clear section to state the new rent and effective date.

What if the lease becomes month-to-month?

Some leases automatically become month-to-month if not renewed. This template can still be used to confirm a fixed renewal term, or you can add a month-to-month statement.
