Introduction:


Lease renewals are a core workflow in property management and need to be executed with care and professionalism.

This checklist, with complex conditional logic built-in, will guide you through the entire process and ensure that both the owner and tenant are satisfied with the end result. 

(As a side note – and although it won’t impact this particular checklist – please know that Appfolio doesn’t currently integrate with Zapier.)
