What’s Causing Tenant Turnover in 2025?

Tenant turnover isn’t new, but the reasons behind it are evolving. Today’s renters want more than just four walls and a lease. They want flexibility, convenience, and tech-enabled experiences that fit their lifestyle. According to a recent Zillow study, the top reasons tenants move include:

• Unexpected fees or poor communication
• Lack of modern amenities
• Frustration with move-in or move-out processes
• Difficulty resolving issues
• Feeling “just like another tenant”

It’s not just about the rent price anymore. It’s about perceived value — and whether residents feel understood, heard, and supported. That’s where a modern approach to tenant retention comes in.

Traditional Perks Aren’t Cutting It Anymore

For years, property managers leaned on old-school perks: free coffee, gym access, maybe a referral bonus. But these don’t move the needle anymore. In fact, most tenants barely notice them.

What they do notice?

• When their maintenance request gets ignored
• When move-in logistics are chaotic
• When they don’t know who to call for help
• When rent reminders feel aggressive or robotic

At Beagle, we’ve learned that successful tenant retention isn’t about the flashiest amenities — it’s about seamless service, proactive support, and creating a sense of home.

🎯 A La Carte Add-Ons That Actually Drive Retention

Beagle offers a range of optional services designed to prevent your biggest risks — while creating real value for residents.

✅ Credit Reporting

Tenants build credit just by paying rent — and they love it. A stronger credit score can increase lease loyalty by 42%, according to Experian.

✅ Identity Theft Protection

With up to $1M in coverage and real-time fraud support, this perk adds modern peace of mind — especially for remote workers and digital natives.

✅ Security Deposit Alternative

Tenants skip the traditional deposit and move in faster. You still get reimbursed up to the full amount if damage occurs — no claims processing delays or friction.

📊 Properties using this program report:

• Faster lease-ups
• Higher conversion rates
• Better experiences at move-in

Why Concierge Services Are Key to Tenant Retention

High-value renters don’t want to waste time managing logistics. They expect hospitality-level experiences — and are willing to stay longer for them. Concierge-style services like Beagle’s move-in coordination and optional air filter delivery are game changers.

Key Benefits:

• Lower stress during transitions
• More positive reviews online
• Better word-of-mouth among residents

According to Harvard Business Review, convenience is one of the most powerful drivers of customer loyalty- especially in service industries. Real estate is no exception.
