Expiring lease

Recently I have started to rent out my new apartment that I inherited 1 year ago. I have never rented out real estate before so currentrly  currently I am learning how to do it properly. The lease for this apartment is up by the end of this month and I don't know how to act in this case, whether to remind my tenant or to wait until he brings it up. I am pretty sure he is desperate to renew his lease so I am not going to push. Moreover, soon I am going to jack up the rent and my current tenant has to pay this rent otherwise he will be foreced forced out. As I already said I am not going to push because I want to have a steady income leasing my property. As they say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. However, there are a lot of tenants who would want to rent this property so if my tenant is not able to pay I will find another one. Thus, another one adage would be more appropriate here "Out with the old and in with the new".

Nice work!
