First time landlord here- My tenant’s lease is expiring on Jan 31. I think he is going to extend. I have couple of questions:
- If he is staying for next year. Do I have to write a new lease again?
- Before extension , Should I inspect home before extension for damages and if there are damages and they are extending, who should fix them?

- yes, absolutely
- yes; depends on what was in the original lease and how strictly you want to follow that.

Also, make sure that the rent going forward reflects current market rates.

Yes you should write a new lease or else the tenant could leave with a month’s notice which could have you trying to rent the place off season (less ppl looking, lower price). I check in with the tenant every 3-6 months to see if there are any repairs or maintenance needed, I like being proactive on that stuff and encourages the tenant to be forthcoming. I’ve covered costs unless I can see it was deliberate damage (beyond normal wear and tear).

4. District's old standard for acceleration is at the 97th+ percentile and other students are much more"advanced".
