# Contract type

In this step you select the contract type you want to create a tenancy for.

In this step you select the contract type you want to create a tenancy for. Depending on whether you are creating a [**"New tenancy"**](/en/anleitung/mietverhaltnisse/mietverhaltnis-anlegen/neues-mietverhaltnis-bestehendes-mietverhaltnis.md#creating-a-new-tenancy) or an [**"Existing tenancy"**](/en/anleitung/mietverhaltnisse/mietverhaltnis-anlegen/neues-mietverhaltnis-bestehendes-mietverhaltnis.md#adding-an-existing-tenancy), different options are available. Once you have created a new tenancy, you can generate a legally sound rental agreement reviewed by lawyers at the end of the process and sign it digitally.

* **"New tenancy":** When you create a new tenancy, at the end of the process you receive an individual, legally sound Immodio rental agreement as well as all other legally relevant documents for letting. The costs for this depend on the plan you have chosen.
* **"Existing tenancy":** Creating existing tenancies in Immodio incurs no additional costs. You can simply upload rental agreements that already exist and manage the tenancy digitally. If you want to carry out a new letting using a rental agreement that already exists, or manage a contract type that is not currently supported, please select "Existing tenancy"; digital signing is then not possible, however.

The table below shows which contract types are currently supported:

{% hint style="info" %}
When you pay for a new tenancy you receive all the documents for legally sound letting: a rental agreement reviewed by lawyers, an automatic landlord confirmation of residence, a brochure on heating and ventilating correctly, a legally compliant right of withdrawal notice, individual house rules, an additional agreement for index-linked or graduated rents, and a data protection notice for tenants.
