I would use a realtor just so you don't have to do the background and credit checks yourself. And it will make it easier if you have to evict them if you are going thru a realtor.

So they just want to extend their contract they already have? Why not just use the same contract they already have and have them sign it. Usually after a year it's a month to month basis

You can find legally binding contracts containing the same language as the realtors use online. I use these to renew when it is the same tenant.
I go the way @tatertot58 said. Why pay a realtor one months rent for not doing much.

I would take the opportunity to inspect your property before re-signing.

My landlord used a form TAR-2005. Looks like it came from ziplogic.com. It says Extension of Residental Lease on the top.
@dotti573: Firstly I'm a licensed real estate agent. It's unfortunately illegal for a non-Realtor to use a TAR-form -- though these forms should be promulgated by the state, the conservatives have for some awkward reason delegated to TAR the power to create the de facto forms. Probably, a result of the powerful Realtor lobby. Anyway, as the owner you're welcome to write down whatever sort of lease or month-to-month agreement you'd like. If your tenant is already seasoned then you may not even be concerned all that much with them defaulting on their contract -- you may not require the contractual protections of the TAR forms. If you're interested, I'd be happy to render this service for $75.00 + my brokerage fees for the transaction -- which unfortunately I can't get for you until tomorrow (I think he's still going to have to pay E&O on the lease extension).
One thing you need to be careful of is that the TAR revised the Residential Lease for on June 1, 2010. If you're extending a lease signed prior to June 1, 2010 you'll want the addendum too.
Feel free to give me a call tomorrow 281.901.0011.

My god, they let the realtors and their organization create realty forms? What's next, let people decide on their own health insurance?

@fcabanski: No, we just get to fill in the blanks. However the form with the blanks is created by TAR, not TREC.
