Lease lapsed

Thank you for your assistance. I have another question. My tenants lease lapsed by 3 days. The lease says she is to vacate the premises if a lease renewal was not given. I was waiting for her to contact me about "financial issues" she was having. She said she may not want to sign another lease a few months ago. I let her know the lease had lapsed yesterday. My question is can I/ should I backdate the new lease term to cover the days she was not legally under the lease? We were intending on signing a new lease. Thanks so much

I as for me it’s generally not advisable to backdate a lease, as leases should reflect the actual signing and start dates. Instead, you could create a prorated agreement for the 3 days without a lease. Consult legal advice to ensure compliance with local laws.
