Ready to Renew?

Renewal season is here at 360 Management. September is a great time to start thinking about housing for next fall. New properties will begin hitting the market, but current residents also have an important decision: Should you renew or move? Before you start trying to find new listings, ask yourself these five questions. 

Do You Love Your Location?

A good location can be hard to replace. Think about your commute and every day routine. Are you close to campus, work, downtown Auburn, schools, restaurants, or places you visit regularly? If your current location already works well for you, moving may not be worth giving that up. Location should be one of the biggest factors when deciding whether to renew.

Does Your Current Place Fit Your Budget?

Moving somewhere new isn't always cheaper. Comparing your current rent with other properties you’re considering is a great way to decide. Think further than monthly rent - moving can mean application fees, deposits, moving costs, utility transfer, set up fees, and more. If your current property fits comfortably within your price point, renewing could save money and avoid unexpected expenses.

Are You Happy with Your Roommates?

Good roommates can make all the difference in how much you enjoy your home. If you’ve found a living situation that works and your roommates are planning to renew, staying put may be an easy decision. But if your current setup isn’t quite working, renewal season is also the perfect time to think about what you’d like to do differently next year.

Is Moving Worth the Extra Stress?

Moving is often considered one of life’s biggest stressors, and renewing your lease can save you from having to go through the process all over again. If you’re happy where you are, staying put can be the easiest choice. Here are a few things you won’t have to worry about when you renew:

• No packing everything you own.
• No moving furniture.
• No changing your address or setting up a new space.
• No searching through dozens of properties.
• You already know the property, neighborhood, parking, commute, etc.
• Renewing can mean one less major thing to worry about next year.

Do You Already Feel at Home?

There is value in being established somewhere. You've already settled into your space and made it your own. You know the area and your routine. You know what to expect from the property. Sometimes the best option isn't finding something new, it's keeping something that already works.

Renewal season is here at 360 Management, and now is the time to start thinking about your plans for next year. If you love where you live, renewing gives you the opportunity to hold onto the home, location, and routine that already work for you — without starting the search all over again. Keep an eye on your email and resident portal for renewal information specific to your property, and reach out to your property manager with any questions along the way.
