A lease addendum allows a landlord or tenant to make changes to a current residential or commercial lease agreement.Once both parties agree and sign, the addendum should be added to the original lease.
Create Document. A lease extension addendum is a contract that further extends the term of an existing lease agreement. The addendum will establish a new lease termination date that both the landlord and tenant agree to.
An addendum must include the basic elements of any landlord/tenant agreement. You should include the date, the address of the rental property and the names of each party just as you would in the original lease.
Lease addenda are separate documents that landlords add to an original lease agreement. Landlords use them to provide additional information that the original lease doesn't cover. Be sure not to confuse addenda with lease amendments, which are changes made directly to the existing lease itself.
Names of all tenants. Every adult who lives in the rental unit, including both members of a married or unmarried couple, should be named as tenants and sign the lease or rental agreement. This makes each tenant legally responsible for all terms, including the full amount of the rent and the proper use of the property.
The Lease Must be in Writing It does not matter if the lease is handwritten or typed. If the lease is for more than one year, it must be in written form and contain the following terms.
A lease and addendum are esentially the same thing, 'the lease'. The addendum is part of the lease, it does not stand on it's own. If the lease and addendum say different things, but one does not supercede the other, it's ambigious, and the least restrictive clause stands.
