What Is a Mortgage Renewal?
A mortgage renewal is a new agreement to either extend or renew a mortgage once it has reached maturity. Many people see the renewal period as an opportunity to renegotiate the terms of their mortgage contract or vie for more favorable interest rates. In some cases, individuals may even want to switch lenders entirely.

Can You Be Denied a Mortgage Renewal?
Many people wonder if they can be denied a mortgage renewal. While it is possible that lenders may deny renewal, the chances for approval are in the borrower’s favor. This is because the borrower often requests approval from their current lender. In such cases, approval is all but guaranteed.
If you are applying for renewal through different lenders, there is a higher chance of being denied. That said, if you’ve never failed to make mortgage payments on time and your finances are still in order, your chances of approval are exceptionally likely.
How Early Can I Renew My Mortgage?
Many mortgage lenders (also known as mortgagees) offer early mortgage renewal options to their clients. Typically, lenders will send you a letter in the mail 21 days before your current term is complete. However, most financial institutions and borrowers permit clients to renew their terms anytime during the final 120-day period of the existing mortgage term.
Is Renewing Your Mortgage the Same as Refinancing?
To renew a mortgage is not the same as refinancing a mortgage. When your current term comes to an end, a borrower may choose to renew their loan that has yet to be paid off. In cases of mortgage refinancing, a borrower swaps their existing mortgage for an entirely different one altogether. Borrowers can refinance their mortgage at any point during the repayment process.
