Oregon Residential or Rental Lease Extension Agreement
What this document covers
The Residential Lease Extension Agreement is a legal document that allows landlords and tenants to extend the term of an existing lease without the need to create a new lease. This agreement carries over the terms from the previous lease, enabling both parties to continue their arrangement while incorporating any necessary modifications, such as revised rent payments. It differs from other lease forms by serving specifically as an extension, rather than establishing a new land-lord-tenant relationship.

- Extension of Lease Term: Specifies the new dates for the lease extension and incorporates prior terms.
- Revised Rent Payments: Outlines the rent amount due, payment schedule, and any prorated amounts applicable.
- Signatures: Requires signatures from all parties involved, affirming their agreement to the extension.
When this form is needed
This form is necessary when a landlord and tenant wish to continue their rental relationship beyond the original lease term.

FAQ
Dear Name of Landlord: This letter is a formal request to renew the lease on the property at the above address for another year. The lease expires on DATE and I would like to renew it until DATE.
Ask your landlord in writing (as far in advance as possible) for a few extra days. Explain your difficulties and emphasize (if you can) that they are only temporary. Offer (if at all possible) to pay at least some of the rent on time.
We recommend offering your tenant a lease renewal 90 days before the lease expires. You can offer in-person, send via email, or send a letter. The goal is to receive a reply within 30 days so that you have at least 60 days to find a new tenant if your current tenant declines the renewal offer.
Find a solicitor. The Leasehold Advisory Service lists solicitors specialising in the field. Value the lease. Professional valuation advice is crucial. Negotiate the price. Your solicitor may approach the freeholder informally first. Apply to a tribunal.
Renewing a lease locks a tenant in so a landlord knows (if all goes to plan) that they will receive rent for a predictable period of time. Likewise, as the PM, it means your revenue is also guaranteed to remain stable because you only get your cut, when the landlord gets their rent!
Your rights as a tenant when a lessor proposes changes to your lease depend on whether you have an option to renew when the lease expires.That is, a new lease is created, and both parties are legally bound to that agreement. Until both parties sign the new lease, there is only an 'agreement to lease'.
Contract extension: an existing contract is continued for a period of time.Contract renewal: an existing contract endsby, for example, expiringand the parties agree to enter into a new contract (usually for the same or very similar services).
Most leasing companies are happy to extend an expiring lease, which can give you some breathing room and time to make the right vehicle choice. Some lenders will allow for a simple month-to-month extension.
By definition, a lease renewal is a new lease agreement, whereas a lease extension is a continuation of the original lease agreement. Generally speaking, the practical effect of either is that the parties to the lease continue the landlord-tenant relationship beyond the expiration of the original term of the lease.
