Know who's staying before they decide.
LIT is Shuk's renewal-forecasting poll. At 6, 5, 4, and 3 months before a lease ends, tenants rate their renewal intent on a five-point scale. You see doubt early — before it becomes a 30-day notice — and you have months to act, not weeks.
Four polls, one signal
Tenants respond at 6, 5, 4, and 3 months before lease end. Each response is a quick five-point pick: Very Likely, Likely, Not Sure, Unlikely, Very Unlikely.
02
Doubt, visible early
Any response below 'Likely' shows up in your early-warning view. You see the tenants you should be talking to — and the conversations worth having — months ahead of time.
03
Act before it's a vacancy
With months of lead time, you can have a real renewal conversation, start marketing the unit, or both. You stop flying blind into the renewal window.
Foresight
Your early-warning system for renewals
Most landlords don't know whether a tenant is renewing until the 60-day notice window. By then, it's already a vacancy conversation — not a retention conversation. LIT flips the timeline.
Starts 6 months out
The first poll goes out 6 months before the lease ends. Then again at 5, 4, and 3 months. Every response is tracked so you can see how sentiment moves over time.
Five-point scale, not free-text
Very Likely, Likely, Not Sure, Unlikely, Very Unlikely. Tenants can answer in seconds, and the signal is consistent across every response.
Early data signals matter
Early data shows every tenant who signaled doubt — 'Not Sure,' 'Unlikely,' or 'Very Unlikely' — ended up leaving. That's a qualitative pattern worth paying attention to, not a statistical guarantee.
Advantage
Why landlords rely on LIT
When you know how tenants feel months in advance, you stop reacting and start planning. LIT turns the renewal window from a scramble into a strategy.
Proactive decision-making
With four data points spread over six months, you see trends forming — not just final answers. A tenant who shifts from 'Likely' to 'Not Sure' between months 5 and 4 is telling you something. You can act on that signal while there's still time to have a real conversation.
Smarter pricing and positioning
Knowing renewal intent early lets you price renewals with confidence and start marketing units sooner when turnover looks likely. Less guessing means fewer vacant days and better-informed rent decisions.
Peace of mind across your portfolio
Instead of wondering which leases are at risk, you have a clear view. LIT gives you a structured read on every tenant approaching lease end — so nothing sneaks up on you at 30 days.

Find answers to common questions about the Lease Indication Tool on Shuk
How do you price a rental property in a competitive market?
+Pricing should reflect current market comparables within a one-mile radius, not what the previous tenant paid or what the landlord needs to cover expenses. A useful benchmark is the 25th to 75th percentile of comparable active listings. If inquiries are low after the first week, price is typically the primary factor. A modest price reduction in week one almost always costs less than an additional two to three weeks of vacancy.
How do I evaluate a rental property quickly without missing red flags?
+Use a two-pass approach. The first pass is a speed check: verify that rent comps support the projected income, and confirm that taxes, insurance, and maintenance are not being ignored or understated. The second pass is precision: calculate net operating income using normalized expenses, test financing scenarios at your quoted rate and at a stressed rate, and validate that vacancy and rent growth assumptions are grounded in local submarket data rather than optimism.
What financing option is best for rental property beginners?
+The best option depends on your income documentation and property type. Conventional financing is usually the lowest-cost path if you qualify, but investment properties carry a rate premium over primary residences and typically require 20% to 25% down for competitive terms. If your income documentation is complex, a debt service coverage ratio loan may close faster because it focuses on property cash flow rather than personal income. For 5-plus unit properties, small-balance multifamily programs operate under separate underwriting standards worth understanding before you make an offer.
