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.
