To extend your stay on Uniplaces, contact your landlord through the platform before your end date. Both parties must agree \u2014 Uniplaces then updates your booking dates.<\/p>\n
Once your booking is updated, your new end date is reflected in your Personal Dashboard and your payment schedule is adjusted accordingly.<\/p>\n
Yes \u2014 landlords are not obligated to extend your stay. They may have another tenant lined up, plans for the property, or simply prefer not to. If your landlord declines, start searching for a new listing as early as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n Use the same approach you used for your original booking \u2014 search by area, set your dates and send requests to listings that match your needs. If you’re in a city like Barcelona or Lisbon where demand is high, give yourself at least 3\u20134 weeks to find something.<\/p>\n At least 2 weeks before your current end date \u2014 ideally more. The earlier you ask, the more options you have.<\/strong> If you wait until the last week and the landlord says no, you’ll have very little time to find an alternative.<\/p>\n In cities with high student housing demand, some landlords have the next tenant lined up a month in advance. Ask early and you’ll be in a much stronger position.<\/p>\n If you already paid a security deposit for your original tenancy, this typically carries over to the extended period \u2014 you don’t need to pay a new deposit for the same property. Confirm this directly with your landlord<\/strong> when agreeing the extension terms, as arrangements can vary.<\/p>\n Technically yes, but it’s not recommended. Any arrangement made privately outside the platform is not covered by the UniTrust Guarantee. If something goes wrong during an unofficial extension, Uniplaces cannot intervene on your behalf.<\/p>\n This depends on what you and the landlord agree. Rent increases for extensions are possible but not automatic \u2014 negotiate directly with the landlord and confirm the agreed rate before the extension is processed.<\/p>\n Yes \u2014 there’s no limit on the number of extensions, as long as the landlord agrees each time. Each extension should be processed through Uniplaces to keep your booking up to date.<\/p>\n Contact both your landlord and the Uniplaces support team immediately. Explain the urgency \u2014 the team will do what they can to help facilitate a quick resolution, but there are no guarantees if the landlord has other commitments for the property.<\/p>\n Still need help?How far in advance should you ask?<\/h2>\n
