If the landlord agrees to add someone's name to a lease, it can be considered a “vacancy lease” even though no one is moving in or out and could result in a possible risk of losing any “preferential rent” agreement with the landlord. Tenants may wish to consult an experienced tenant lawyer before signing a new lease.

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.
