Samsam M2 short-term extension — how it works
How do I request an extension?
You must agree the extension with the host first.
Once you agree, sign a new contract based on that agreement.
No extra move-out cleaning fee is charged when you extend.
If you already paid a move-out cleaning fee, arrange any refund directly with the host.
If there’s another applicant waiting for the room, your extension may be limited.
We recommend talking with the host at least 2 weeks before your move-out date.
The plott LIFE in-app “Extend” feature is still being prepared.
For now, extensions are done by agreeing with the host and signing a new contract, not by clicking on the web.
How many days can I extend for?
On Samsam M2 you can request an extension from a minimum of 1 week up to 12 weeks.
On plott LIFE you can request from 1 week up to 28 weeks (7 months).
Actual availability may vary by room.
Comparing extension methods: Samsam M2 vs plott LIFE
Both platforms require tenant and host agreement for extensions.
Samsam M2 runs contracts by the week, and a single extension request can be 1 to 12 weeks.
There’s no overall cap on total stay length on Samsam M2, but that’s separate from a single extension unit.
plott LIFE allows requests based on total stay length from 1 week up to 28 weeks (7 months).
On both platforms, if you want a specific extension, talk to the host early so another applicant doesn’t take the room.
Room rules vary—confirm exact terms with the host before you extend.
