Yes he could, because Landlord and Tenant can mutually agree about any term when they celebrate their contract. Anyhow, the Spanish Urban Renting Law (Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos) quite clearly indicates that in cases of rentals having a term of less than five years, the Tenant can extend the term by successive periods of one year if he wishes so for a maximum period totalizing five years.
