Negotiating a renewal in Dallas
- Check your own ZIP, not just the city: in Dallas, ZIP-level changes over the past year range from −3.3% to +6.7%.
- Start 60–90 days before your lease ends, before you're short on time to look elsewhere.
- Lead with wanting to stay, then the numbers: your increase next to the local trend, with the source named.
- 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.
