Best practices for completing the request

Accurate lease references and a complete signing record help prevent disagreements about the requested extension, unchanged terms, and effective date.

Match the existing lease details

Name the tenant, landlord, property address, current lease end date, requested extension period, and proposed new end date exactly as they appear in the existing lease. Attach or reference the governing lease so both parties can compare terms before signing.

Identify every changed lease term

State whether rent, utilities, deposits, renewal options, maintenance duties, and every other lease term remain unchanged or are being modified. Do not rely on a general statement when the extension changes a material obligation.

Confirm both parties review the final version

Send the completed request to the landlord through a verified email address and require both parties to review the final version. Keep the signed extension request with the original lease and related correspondence.

Preserve signing evidence

Use signNow’s audit trail to preserve signer identity, timestamps, document history, and completion evidence. Export the completed record when your organization’s lease-record policy requires an offline or separately archived copy.

Challenges when requesting a lease extension

  • The requested extension date conflicts with the original lease end date or an existing renewal option, creating uncertainty about which term governs the parties’ agreement.
  • The form omits rent, deposit, maintenance, or notice changes, leaving the tenant and landlord to interpret whether existing obligations continue.
  • The tenant sends the request to an outdated landlord or property-manager email address, delaying review and weakening evidence of proper delivery.
  • The signed request is stored separately from the original lease, making it difficult to establish the complete agreement and effective extension terms.

Troubleshooting lease extension signing

These answers address field setup, recipient delivery, electronic-signature validity, plan limits, and state-law exceptions for this lease extension request.

Upload the original file again and confirm it is a supported, readable document. On the Business plan, place or verify fields after upload, then send the request for signature; field detection does not confirm lease terms automatically.

Confirm that the landlord’s email address is correct and resend the invitation from the document activity area. signNow records delivery and signing events in the audit trail, but it cannot correct an outdated recipient address.

A lease extension request can generally use an electronic signature when the parties demonstrate intent and consent under ESIGN and applicable state law. Preserve the completed record and audit trail for attribution and reproduction.

Business pricing is $8 per user per month with annual billing. Paid subscription plans include 100 signature invites per user per year; review overage terms before sending high-volume lease requests.

The Business Premium plan is $15 per user per month with annual billing and includes bulk send. Use it only when sending substantially similar requests to multiple recipients is necessary.

If the extension involves notarization, a deed, or another document excluded by state law or ESIGN, obtain qualified legal guidance and complete the required in-person or notarization process separately.
