Can the Rental Period Be Adjusted?

When searching for a new place to rent, one of the most important factors is finding a lease period that matches your desired timeframe. However, it’s not always easy to find a property that aligns perfectly with your preferred move-in and move-out dates. At Samtrygg, we strive to make this process as smooth as possible by offering a flexible approach to rental periods. But how flexible can a landlord really be, and how can you go about adjusting the rental period?

Flexibility in Rental Periods

Landlords typically specify a rental period in their listing, but this doesn’t always mean those dates are set in stone. It’s not uncommon for landlords to be open to discussing adjustments to the move-in and move-out dates. Samtrygg serves as a safe and simple platform that facilitates these discussions between landlords and tenants.

How to Proceed

If you want to know whether there’s a possibility to adjust the rental period, it’s important to communicate directly with the landlord. At Samtrygg, we’ve made this easy with our viewing function. Here are the steps you can follow to explore whether the rental period can be adapted to suit your needs:

1. Click “Book Viewing”
   When you find an apartment that seems interesting and almost fits your desired dates, click “Book Viewing.” This is the first step to starting a conversation with the landlord.

2. Choose a Viewing Time
   Book a time that works for you to view the property. Even if you’re not sure yet whether the rental period can be adjusted, a viewing is a good opportunity to get a feel for the place and establish direct contact with the landlord.

3. Contact the Landlord via Chat
   After booking a viewing, a chat feature opens where you can ask the landlord questions. This is where you should clearly state your desired rental period. Explain what period you’d prefer and ask if there’s a possibility to adjust the rental timeline.

When the Rental Period Cannot Be Adjusted

Sometimes, the landlord may not have the flexibility to change the rental period. In such cases, you don’t need to feel obligated to proceed with the viewing. Samtrygg makes it easy to cancel the viewing if you cannot reach an agreement on the rental period.

The Benefits of Early Communication

By reaching out early and initiating a discussion about the rental period, you increase your chances of finding a solution that works for both you and the landlord. In many cases, landlords may be more flexible than their listing suggests. By clearly communicating your needs and preferences, you create a better opportunity to secure a rental period that fits your schedule.

Conclusion

At Samtrygg, we do everything we can to make the process easier for both tenants and landlords to find a suitable arrangement. While landlords typically suggest a rental period in their listing, it can be worth asking if there’s room for adjustment. By following our simple steps to contact the landlord and discuss the rental period, you increase your chances of finding a place that truly suits your needs.
