If I Have Concerns About My Renewal Offer, Who Can I Talk To?
It’s completely normal to have questions—or even concerns—when your renewal offer arrives.
Audience: current residents who received a renewal offer and have questions or concerns about pricing, terms, policies, or timing.
Renewal terms involve important decisions about your home, budget, and future plans. There is a clear point of contact for anything related to your renewal.
All renewal concerns should be directed to your MoveZen property management team.

Does asking questions affect my renewal chances? Absolutely not. Asking questions is normal and encouraged.

What MoveZen Cannot Do
While MoveZen can clarify and communicate, they cannot:
- Change rent pricing independently
- Offer discounts without owner approval
- Waive renewal fees
- Extend deadlines without owner approval
- Guarantee changes before the owner reviews them
MoveZen's authority is limited, but their role is essential for guiding you through the process.
What to Do If Your Concern Requires Owner Review

- Document your concern
- Present it to the property owner
- Wait for the owner's response
- Relay the answer back to you
This process keeps everything compliant and fair.
Contact MoveZen Early
Renewal deadlines are typically 59-60 days before lease end.
If you wait too long:
- Fewer options may be available
- Late renewal fees can apply
- Automatic renewals may trigger
- Your request may not reach the owner in time
Early communication gives you the most flexibility and ensures adequate time for owner review if needed.
