A Tenant’s Guide to Lease Renewals in 2027
Twelve questions to answer before you open renewal talks, and the notice dates that cost tenants leverage.

18 months
Ideal lead time before expiry
The best renewal outcomes begin eighteen months before expiry. That is long enough to run a real market survey, to price relocation, and to make your landlord compete with an alternative rather than with your calendar.
Start with the lease itself: notice windows, renewal options, restoration obligations and holdover rent. Missing a notice date by a day can turn a negotiation into a request.
Then define what you actually need. Headcount, hybrid attendance and growth plans change the answer from the space you had to the space you should have.
