Keyrenter Austin Property Management Performance: Eviction Rates, Renewal Rates, and Portfolio Data

Property owners should be able to evaluate a property management company using more than promises. Keyrenter Austin publishes its eviction results so current and prospective clients can see how our portfolio has performed and understand how the numbers are calculated.

We also publish lease renewal rates so owners can see how often residents
stay after their lease term. This is a direct driver of vacancy cost and
net income.

How Keyrenter Austin Works to Reduce Eviction Risk

No screening or management system can eliminate every eviction. Employment changes, illness, household changes, lease violations, inherited tenancies, and other circumstances can affect a resident’s ability or willingness to comply with a lease.

Our approach is designed to identify and address risk throughout the tenancy:

Consistent applicant criteria

Applicants are evaluated using written, consistently applied rental criteria and applicable federal, state, and local requirements.

Detailed tenant screening

Our screening process reviews relevant factors such as identity, income, credit history, rental history, employment information, and other lawful qualification criteria.

Clear lease expectations

We explain payment responsibilities, property-care requirements, maintenance reporting, lease rules, and communication procedures before move-in.

Rent collection and early follow-up

Online payment options and structured collection procedures help us identify late or missing payments and begin communication promptly.

Resident communication

Early communication can sometimes resolve payment, documentation, maintenance, or lease-compliance issues before they become more serious.

Professional documentation

When a problem occurs, our team maintains records and follows established procedures so that owners are informed and the appropriate next steps can be taken.

What Happens When an Eviction Is Necessary?

Eviction is generally a last resort. When it becomes necessary, Keyrenter Austin coordinates the applicable notices, documentation, court filings, service providers, owner communication, and possession process. For a detailed breakdown of the legal steps in Texas, see our guide: Texas Eviction Process.

After possession is recovered, we help assess the property, coordinate necessary work, prepare it for the market, and begin the process of securing a qualified replacement resident.

We back our low eviction rates with an eviction guarantee.

Why Publish This Information?

Eviction rates are frequently discussed in property-management marketing, but they are not always accompanied by annual counts, portfolio size, calculation methods, or clear definitions.

We publish this information to help owners:

  • Understand the scale behind the percentage.
  • See how performance changes from year to year.
  • Evaluate our results alongside our screening and management practices.
  • Ask better questions when comparing property-management companies.
  • Hold us accountable for keeping the information accurate and current.

Lease Renewal Rates

Property owners should be able to evaluate a property management company using more than promises. Keyrenter Austin publishes lease renewal results so current and prospective clients can see how often residents choose to stay, and how that rate has changed by year.

A renewal is counted when a resident whose lease is expiring signs a new term or continues in place rather than vacating. Vacancy is expensive. Higher renewal rates generally mean fewer turns, fewer make-ready costs, and more stable income. See how we approach renewals and long-term residents and reducing vacancy.

202465%374573
202574%483651
Trailing 12 months* 77% 421 546

How we work to improve renewal rates

  • Start renewal conversations 60–90 days before expiration
  • Review rent against current Austin market conditions before proposing an increase
  • Proactively negotiate renewal terms when appropriate to retain qualified residents 
  • Keep maintenance response times short so residents are not shopping because of unresolved issues
  • Screen for long-term fit at placement so the first lease is more likely to become a second lease
  • Use clear lease terms and consistent communication throughout the lease to support a strong resident experience

Important context

Historical eviction and renewal performance does not guarantee future results. Each property, owner, resident, lease, and market condition is different.

Eviction rates and renewal rates are often used in property-management marketing, but they are not always published with annual figures, portfolio context, definitions, or calculation methods. Rates between companies should only be compared when the companies use similar definitions, time periods, property types, tenant-placement rules, and calculation methods.

A renewal rate measures how often residents stay when a lease comes up for renewal. It does not mean rent was unchanged, that every resident was offered the same terms, or that every property in the portfolio had the same outcome. Owner decisions (selling, renovating, or taking a property off the market) can also affect the number of leases that come up for renewal in a given year.

No screening or management system can eliminate every eviction or produce a renewal on every expiring lease. Employment changes, illness, household changes, lease violations, inherited tenancies, and other circumstances can affect a resident’s ability or willingness to stay or to comply with a lease.

The trailing 12-month renewal rate is 77%. Calendar-year rates were 67% in 2023, 65% in 2024, and 74% in 2025.

How is renewal rate calculated?

Renewal rate = number of renewals ÷ number of leases that came up for renewal in the period. A non-renewal is a resident who vacates at expiration (or is not offered / does not accept a continuation).

Why did the rate move from 65% in 2024 to 74% in 2025?

The increase was driven by a more intentional renewal strategy following the 2025 company restructure, with a dedicated Resident Services team, licensed staff who could better assess market conditions, and more active negotiation of renewal rates with owners.

Does a high renewal rate mean rent is never increased?

No. Renewals can include a market adjustment. The goal is to keep good residents and keep rent aligned with the market. See How to Explain a Rent Increase.

How often is this updated?

Calendar-year rates are updated annually after year-end review. The trailing 12-month figure may be updated more often.
