If you are the great tenants you say you are, why would she want to rent to new tenants? You're a known commodity vs. her taking the chance of renting to someone who's not as good, and it costs much less to renew a tenant than to "turn" the apartment.





If she's thinking about selling to another landlord, then having your lease in place is very important, and most buyers will appreciate continuity of tenants -- it shows that the property is attractive to tenants and competitively priced in the market. If she's thinking about selling to someone who will live in the property, then you're probably out of luck.





If you're going to write a letter, I would stick with this script (assuming it's all true):





1. we enjoy living here and the place works well for our needs


2. we believe we're good tenants because . . .


3. we enjoy having you as landlord and think you do a good job, and


4. we would like to stay here, and believe it be good for both of us to negotiate a renewal.





Another thought: have you thought about calling your landlord instead of sending a letter? It's more personal, shows a higher level of interest on your part, and you get your answer (hopefully) quicker.





Good luck.
