FAQ
If an issue crops up after a lease has begun, you can still add a clause or addendum. You will just need to send your tenant written notice of the change, preferably with a lease amendment, and then get your tenant's signature on the new amendment.
A lease is automatically void when it is against the law, such as a lease for an illegal purpose. In other circumstances, like fraud or duress, a lease can be declared void at the request of one party but not the other.
Make good refers to the clause in a lease that set out how a tenant should leave a property when the lease comes to an end, whether by the expiry of the term or earlier termination. Make good is one of the most commonly disputed provisions of a lease.
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 provisions are usually described as "boilerplate," since many leases use standard language. Boilerplate language in a lease may include the terms of the lease, payment dates, and late fees, among others.
