How can I change dates of stay in a lease agreement?
Change of the move-in date
a) If the lease is not valid yet
In case the lease agreement is still not valid and you wish to change the tenant's move-in date, we recommend that you simply cancel the contract and the tenant then creates a new booking request with the new dates. Once you accept the request, a new and correct lease will be created.
Alternatively, you can proceed as if the lease is already valid (see the procedure below), although we don't recommend it at this point.
b) If the lease is already valid
If you and your tenant agree on a different date of their move-in after the lease becomes valid, you should reach out to our support team who can edit the start date directly within a valid lease agreement. Please note the following:
- Since any change must be approved by both contractual sides (i.e., you and your tenant), you'll need to provide us with proof of your tenant's approval (for example, a screenshot of your conversation in which the tenant requested or agreed to the changes).
- Based on this proof, the existing signature on the current lease agreement will be removed and the start date of the lease agreement will be changed. After this, the tenant will be asked to sign the lease agreement again with an authorization code. Once they re-sign the lease, the change will become valid.
Change of the move-out date
Changing the move-out date is very easy, whether the lease is already valid or not! If the tenant should move out:
- EARLIER than originally agreed, you (or in some cases your tenant) can create the appropriate termination. You can read all the details about each termination type and their specifics in this article.
- LATER than originally agreed, you can easily create an extension of the lease agreement that will appear as an amendment to the lease. Once it's created, the tenant will only need to sign it using an authorization code so it becomes officially valid.
Note: If you'd like to change anything else on the lease that cannot be solved by a general amendment and you're unsure how to proceed, please contact our support team and we'll guide you through the next steps. |
