What should I do if the tenant wants to extend their stay?

If a tenant wishes to extend their stay, it’s essential to follow a structured process to ensure the extension is handled smoothly.

1. Review the Current Lease Agreement

Start by reviewing the existing lease agreement to check for any provisions related to lease extensions. This will give you an idea of the terms and conditions already in place and whether any specific steps or requirements need to be followed.

2. Communicate with the Tenant

Once you’ve reviewed the lease, get in touch with the tenant to confirm the new end date for their extended stay. Discuss any changes that might apply, such as adjustments in rent, additional terms, or changes to house rules.

3. Update the Lease Agreement

After finalizing the new terms with the tenant, update the lease agreement or prepare an addendum that reflects the changes, including the new end date and any other modifications. Ensure that both parties sign the revised document to make it legally binding.

4. Inform Spotahome

It’s crucial to inform Spotahome about the extension so that our records and listing information are updated. This helps ensure that all details remain accurate and allows us to continue providing seamless support.

5. Document Everything

Make sure to document all communications and agreements related to the extension. This will help avoid any misunderstandings or disputes down the line and keep both parties aligned.

By following these steps, you can manage lease extensions smoothly and ensure the process is transparent and legally sound for both you and your tenant.
