Renewal playbook

Engage tenant rep 18–24 months before expiry. Build a real shortlist of alternatives — landlords will only price seriously when they believe you might leave. Use the Occupancy Cost Estimator to model both renewal and relocation paths on identical assumptions.

Exit playbook

If you're leaving, budget restoration / dilapidations early; in many Monterrey lease structures these can run 3–6 months of rent. Sublet or surrender is a real option — trending-soft markets give the landlord real motivation to take the space back cleanly.
