Negotiating a renewal in Fontana
- Check your own ZIP, not just the city: in Fontana, ZIP-level changes over the past year range from +3.0% to +4.2%.
- Start 60–90 days before your lease ends, before you're short on time to look elsewhere.

- Name a specific number, and offer something in return, like a longer lease, if you can.
- Get any agreement in writing before you sign the renewal.
