FAQ
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.
Create Document. A lease extension addendum is a contract that further extends the term of an existing lease agreement. The addendum will establish a new lease termination date that both the landlord and tenant agree to.
Changing the tenancy agreement A tenancy agreement can normally only be changed if both you and your landlord agree. If you both agree, the change should be recorded in writing, either by drawing up a new written document setting out the terms of the tenancy or by amending the existing written tenancy agreement.

Tenants have no obligation to sign addenda presented to them after signing the original lease. Let's say the lease was signed in March, but the landlord creates an addendum in June.After the term expires, the landlord can require tenants to sign any addenda before a rental agreement is valid.
Your tenancy agreement should say how much notice you need to give your landlord before you leave the property. You're responsible for paying rent for your entire fixed-term tenancy. You can move out early without paying rent for the full tenancy if: there is a break clause in your tenancy agreement.
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.
Your landlord can change a rental agreement at any time during the term of the agreement, with or without your consent. Changes must be made with adequate notice; notice periods are 30 days in most states. Changing a lease is harder because both parties must consent to almost any change.
A contract addendum cannot be legally enforced unless both parties fully understand the new terms and agree to them in writing. All parties who signed the original contract must also sign the addendum; if one or more parties are unavailable, they can appoint agents who have the authority to sign on their behalf.
