I cannot understand why this landlord chose to not get in touch with the tenant beforehand. It's just good common sense to see if the tenant is moving or not when the lease is ending. Who fails to not do that, but an unexperience landlord?

I do not contact my tenants as we approach the end of a lease. Reason being, I don't like to highlight to the tenant that the lease is ending, it makes the tenant think about moving and I don't want the turnover. I find if I leave it alone, most roll M2M under the terms of our lease. If a tenant is going to move, they are obligated by the terms of the lease to give me 30-day notice, whether at the end of the lease any time thereafter.

    Failure to contact your tenants before the lease ends shows your lack of business acumen. It's a perfect time to see if the property needs attention or repairs, to touch base with the tenants, perhaps to increase rent. Why would a landlord not do this is puzzling.

      I don't need an excuse to give attention or repair to the property, and I certainly do it more often than annually! I don't alert the tenant to the end of a lease and likewise I don't raise the rent annually -- I don't want to chase the tenant out for a few bucks since the turnover and vacancy period will cost much much more than the couple hundred annually I'd make with a rent increase.

      The name of the game is keeping your tenants in place and satisfied so you avoid turnover. Turnover will bankrupt a landlord faster than anything else.

It was not an inexperienced landlord. It was the agent who is trying to hook the tenant on the way out as it is their proclivity.
