@Tereal Wilsonn, is this a tenant that you inherited while buying the property recently or one that you originated with a year ago? If inherited, I would screen thoroughly, get application, the whole works as if completely new. If you placed tenant a year ago or so, did you screen well at that time? If so, I would think you can just extend unless you have reason to believe that their situation has changed significantly in the last year. Just my two cents as i am far from an expert. Good luck to you!
