Apartment Deposit

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.

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.

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.

First and foremost, negotiating is a process. Once you have set an amount for the security deposit, ask for that amount. If your landlord gives you a flat-out refusal, it does not mean you have to accept defeat. Ask to speak with a higher-up if there is one, and repeat your request to that person.

Date of the deposit receipt. Name of the tenant. Name and location of the financial institution where the security deposit is held. Account number, if required. Amount deposited and date the deposit was made.

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.

Tenant's name and new address, or address he gave for return of the security deposit. Commencement date of the lease and date it ended. Amount of the security deposit when the tenant moved in. Amount of interest accrued.

Step 1: Obtain a Written Request. Invite the tenant to submit in writing the request to add another person to the lease. Step 2: Check the Property's Occupancy Limit. Step 3: Acquire a Completed Rental Application. Step 4: Make a Decision. Step 5: Review the Details With the Tenants.
