Renewals

Every renewal starts with the whole relationship.

The renewal lives on the same record as the lease and every conversation before it, so a resident is never a stranger at renewal time. Keep a person on the conversation while AI handles routine outreach, on your terms.

A person owns the renewal. AI handles the routine. You set the mix by property, channel, or workflow, and the resident is never a stranger.

Operators running 2,000 to 60,000 units run the renter journey on Union.

A renewal,
not a re-introduction.

When the renewal lives in a different system from leasing, the resident effectively starts over. The history of the residency, the service requests, the earlier conversations, none of it follows them into the renewal, and the team works from a thin record at the exact moment the relationship matters most.

The relationship
doesn’t reset at renewal.

In Union, the renewal is just the next chapter on the same record. The team sees the full residency, the AI can handle routine outreach while a person owns the renewal conversation, and centralized renewal specialists work from the same record as on-site staff.

On the renewal:

Every renewal opens with the resident’s entire relationship, leasing, residency, and prior conversations, not a blank record.

You keep the dial.
The resident feels known.

Centralizing renewals does not have to cost you context. Specialist renewal teams see the same record as on-site staff, and the operator decides how much is AI and how much is human.

  • Every renewal opens with the resident’s entire relationship, leasing, residency, and prior conversations, not a blank record.

  • Keep a person on the renewal conversation while AI handles routine outreach like delinquency notices, set by property, channel, or workflow.

  • Specialist renewal teams see the same record as on-site staff, so centralizing renewals does not cost you context.

  • AI Compose drafts renewal SMS and email with fair-housing guardrails, so outreach is fast and compliant.

Renewal conversations
deserve a person on the line.

Union never forces AI-only. The renewal conversation stays with a person who can see the whole relationship, while AI handles the routine outreach around it, on your terms.

AI handles the outreach.
A person owns the renewal.

Cold starts, every renewal opens with the whole relationship

Renewals work better
because they are not bolted on.

It lives on the same platform as your CRM, leasing, AI agents, marketing, renewals, and resident operations, working from the same renter record the rest of Union is already working from.

FAQs

What happens to the resident’s history at renewal?
It is already on the record. The renewal opens from the same record as the original lease, the residency, the service requests, and every conversation before it, so the team never works from a thin record at the moment the relationship matters most.
Can I keep a person on the renewal and use AI elsewhere?
Yes. Keep a person on the renewal conversation while AI handles routine outreach like delinquency notices and renewal reminders. You set the mix by property, channel, time, or workflow, and you can change it any time.
What is AI Compose?
AI Compose drafts renewal SMS and email for your team to review and send, working from the offer on the record and your approved property knowledge, with fair-housing guardrails on every draft.
Does it work with a centralized renewal team?
Yes. Dedicated renewal specialists see the same record as on-site staff, so centralizing renewals does not cost you context, and the resident still feels known.
What happens when a resident asks the AI something it cannot answer?
It routes to a person on your team with the full thread attached. Union never forces AI-only, and nothing the AI cannot answer gets repeated to a resident.
How long does implementation take?
About 30 days from kickoff to go-live. Union travels to you and is onsite for kickoff and training, and your team joins Union Slack channels for daily access to the people who build the product.
