“For most private landlords, there's no real limit or cap on how much they can increase the rent,” said Daniel Crook, the housing task force managing attorney for Utah Legal Services. “It's very much a private-market driven decision that is made by the landlords individually.”
Lease addendums are used to provide additional information that the original lease does not cover.” In other words, a lease addendum allows you to add an additional document to or adjust the terms of your existing rental agreement.
A lease addendum is a document that is added to an existing lease agreement to introduce additional terms, conditions, or provisions without altering the original lease terms.
Does an addendum supersede a lease? The addendum is a part of the lease agreement. Therefore, it does not stand on its own. However, the addendum should make references to the lease, contain the same date and name of parties as in the original lease agreement.
As long as both parties sign an addendum it is legally binding, however, it is worth having a lawyer look over an addendum to make sure it is in order before signing to avoid confusion in the future.
In most cases, both addendums and amendments are considered part of the original contract once they're signed by all parties. That means they're just as legally binding as the original agreement. However, there are some situations where an amendment might supersede an addendum.
In Utah, there are no state laws that limit how much landlords can increase rent. Rent hikes should not be retaliatory or discriminatory. Landlords must adhere to contract terms regarding tenancy and lease renewals.
