In what way doesn’t size ?

Your problem isn’t new - it’s somewhat fundamental to complying with the RFCs. You will need to remove any existing lease for the IP before the IP can be allocated to another client.
I assume it doesn’t scale in terms of having multiple hell desk operators having to do manual steps - in which case, the answer is to build a tool into your management toolset allowing them to “click here to remove the lease” when they are altering the reservation details.
