You can also agree to sign a Lease Amendment. This is often called an addendum, and gets attached to the original lease. It is important that both the landlord and tenant sign a document stating that they intend to make a specific change to an existing lease. For example, the original lease might say no pets.
Key takeaways: A contract amendment is a formal alteration or modification made to an already signed contract. A contract addendum is an additional document that is attached to the original contract. The decision to use an addendum or an amendment depends on the nature of the changes being made.
Draft the amendment: The landlord should draft and review the lease amendment agreement. Verify that the changes comply with state and local laws. Also, check that there are no conflicts with the original lease agreement. Sign the amendment: Both the landlord and tenant should sign the new lease amendment.
A lease is a written contract that is enforceable by each of the parties to the contract. The only way to change that contract is for each of the parties to agree to the change in writing. So no, you cannot change it but all of you can agree to change it.
