In this episode we’re discussing why renters are moving less than at any point in the last 40 years, and whether you manage one unit or ten, this affects your strategy, revenue, and renewals in a big way. So, Kevin and I are unpacking what’s behind the sharp drop in renter mobility and what it means for your business. 

We talk through why renewing a lease is cheaper than moving, why ownership remains out of reach for many renters, and how construction slowdowns and underbuilding are freezing vacancy chains. We also break down demographic shifts — from long-term renters in their 50s+ to younger renters relocating less because of job instability and cost-of-living pressures. Climate migration plays a surprising role too — many renters want safer living locations but can’t afford to relocate, which means staying put longer than ever. 

Most importantly, we share practical strategies to help you adapt: improving renewal conversations, creating predictable systems, using landlord software, and screening wisely to prevent fraud. Longer tenancies can be great — but only if you proactively manage communication, planning, maintenance, and rent increases. 

If you want to run your rentals like a real business — with professionalism, confidence, and systems — today’s episode is packed with insight you can put to work immediately.
