Tenancy or lease renewal in Andorra
Renewing a residential tenancy agreement in Andorra typically involves drafting an addendum or a new contract to extend the lease term. Both the landlord and the tenant must formally agree to the updated terms and ensure the contract remains compliant with current Andorran housing regulations.
It is standard practice to initiate lease renewal discussions at least 60 to 90 days before the existing contract expires, as this allows sufficient time for negotiations and the preparation of legal documentation.
