Tenant requesting to delay move out by 2 weeks + question on moveout inspection.

[Asim G.]

Hi,

My tenant of 3 years is vacating from an SFR rental. The lease expires on 31st Aug and he has requested to stay till 15th Sept as he is moving to a new home and the builder will have the home ready by then. He has been a good tenant and I wanted to know how to handle his request. I plan to ask him to pay a daily rate that is in keeping with the AirBnb rates in the region. How should I handle this transition? Do we agree on email or should we sign a separate document for the 15 days.

Also, how should I handle the inspection after the tenant has moved out? We documented the condition of the property when they moved in 3 years ago. Is there a rule of thumb to follow if:

1. The property has not been left in a clean condition

2. Any chips/dents on the wall and paint

This is the first time I will be handling a vacating of the property and would like to better understand what steps to follow.
