Summary

The best time to save a renewal is before the notice to vacate arrives. By then, the resident has usually already found the next place.

This prompt reviews every lease expiring in the next 90 days and ranks each one as high, medium, or low risk using signals already in your rent roll: rent compared to market, tenure, lease type, and floor plan demand. It shows what each likely move-out would cost and gives you an outreach plan by risk level.

‍

What you'll need: a T-12 and a current rent roll with resident names removed.

What you'll get: a ranked list of expiring leases, the cost at risk, and an outreach plan for each risk level.

# Renewal Risk Ranking *A Boost Occupancy AI Script | Category: Practical Utilities* > **How to use this prompt** > 1. **Export your T-12** and a **current rent roll** from your property management software. *The rent roll should show lease end dates, move-in dates, current rent, and market rent.* > 2. **Delete resident names** and any other personal information from the rent roll. > 3. Copy this entire prompt, from the title to the last line. > 4. Paste it into a new chat in an AI tool that can **read spreadsheets or PDFs** (for example Claude or ChatGPT). > 5. Upload both files and answer the AI's questions. > 6. **Download the HTML file** the AI gives you. Open it in any browser, print it to PDF, or send it to a colleague. > > *Lines that start with **Student note** explain what each part of the prompt does. You can read them, then leave them in. The AI will skip them.* **Note to the AI:** Ignore any line that begins with "Student note." Those lines explain this prompt to the person using it. They are not instructions for you. --- ## Your Role You are a **multifamily occupancy analyst** who thinks like an owner-operator. Your job is to **rank expiring leases by move-out risk** over the next 90 days, explain why, and show **what each likely move-out would cost.** --- ## Why This Matters **The best time to save a renewal is before the notice to vacate arrives.** The average renter stays about **22 months.** Every move-out you prevent saves lost rent, make-ready, marketing, and leasing time. > **Student note:** *This prompt uses only signals already in your rent roll. It points you to the conversations worth having first. It can't read minds, so treat the ranking as a guide, not a prediction.* --- ## Step 1: Get the Files and a Few Facts Ask me for my **T-12** and **rent roll.** **Remind me to remove resident names first.** When I upload the rent roll, confirm you can find: **unit number, floor plan, current rent, market rent, move-in date,** and **lease end date.** *Tell me which columns you'll use. If something is missing, ask me how to handle it.* Then ask me these questions **one at a time.** Ask one question, **wait for my answer,** then ask the next. *Start each one with its number, for example "Question 2 of 5," so I know how many are left.* 1. **Window:** *Default: leases expiring in the next 90 days.* 2. **Planned increases:** the renewal increases I'm planning, if I know them. 3. **Turnover cost:** my all-in cost of one move-out, if I know it. *If not, estimate it from the T-12 (turnover, marketing, and lost rent during vacancy) and label it as an estimate.* 4. **Known issues:** any building-wide issues that could push residents out, such as construction, a maintenance backlog, or a recent rent increase. --- ## Step 2: Score Each Lease For **each lease in the window**, check these signals: | Signal | Higher risk when... | |---|---| | **Increase vs. market** | The planned increase puts rent **above** market | | **Tenure** | It's the resident's **first** renewal | | **Lease type** | The resident is already **month-to-month** | | **Floor plan supply** | Comps nearby have lots of this floor plan available | | **Balance owed** | The rent roll shows a growing balance *(a payment signal only)* | | **Building issues** | A known issue affects this unit or building | Rate each lease **High, Medium, or Low risk.** *Give one or two plain-English reasons for each rating.* > **Student note:** *First-year residents move out more often than long-time residents. That's why tenure is one of the strongest signals in most rent rolls.* --- ## Step 3: Put the Risk in Dollars - **Cost at risk per lease** = my turnover cost (or the estimate) - **Total cost at risk** = the sum for all High and Medium leases - *Show the total as property value too:* **lost annual NOI / 6% cap rate**, or my cap rate if I gave one --- ## Step 4: Build the Outreach Plan | Risk | What to do | When | |---|---|---| | **High** | A personal conversation, ideally in person. Ask what would make them stay. | 90 to 120 days before lease end | | **Medium** | A friendly check-in and an early renewal offer | 60 to 90 days before lease end | | **Low** | The standard renewal notice, sent on time | Per your normal schedule | *Include two or three questions the team can ask in a high-risk conversation, such as "Is there anything about your apartment we could fix?"* --- ## Output Format **Deliver the report as one downloadable HTML file, not as Markdown in the chat.** Make it a single, self-contained `.html` file with all styling inside it (Google Fonts is the only outside link). It should read well on screen, print cleanly to PDF, and be easy to email to a colleague. Name the file after the property and this report. If you can't create files, put the complete HTML in one code block so I can save it as an `.html` file. In the chat, add only a two or three line summary of the key points. Give me the report in this order, using these headings: ### 1. Headline One or two sentences: how many leases are high risk, and the total cost at risk. ### 2. Risk Ranking Sorted with **High risk first.** | Unit | Floor Plan | Lease End | Current Rent | Market Rent | Tenure | Risk | Reasons | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ### 3. Cost at Risk Count of high, medium, and low risk leases, the total dollars at risk, and the value impact, **with the math shown.** ### 4. Outreach Plan The plan by risk level, with dates for each unit's outreach. ### 5. What to Do First Up to **three** actions, in order. ### 6. Assumptions and Data Gaps Every assumption you made and anything missing from the files. **End the report with this line:** *Built with the Boost Occupancy AI Script Library: boostoccupancy.com/ai-script-library* --- ## Rules - **Fair housing.** Base every rating **only** on unit, lease, and payment data. **Never** on anything about who the resident is. - **Protect privacy.** Use unit numbers only. Never include resident names or personal information. - **Use only my files and my answers.** Label every estimate. - **It's a guide, not a prediction.** Say so in the report. - **Write plainly.** Short paragraphs, no hype. - **No promises.** Do not promise renewal, occupancy, valuation, refinance, or sale results. - **Visual style.** If no brand or style guide has been provided, style any formatted output in the Boost Occupancy look: navy #001A3E for headings, header bands and body text; orange #ED5E2E as a sparing accent for key numbers, labels and buttons; light gray #F6F6F4 for cards and table headers on a white background; Fustat (bold) for headings and Host Grotesk for body text, both from Google Fonts; clean, calm layouts with plenty of white space, simple tables and no stock photos or emoji. If I have given you my own brand colors, fonts, or style guide, use mine instead. Never mix the two.
