Tip. 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.

A rental agreement will be void and unenforceable if it contains a provision that allows the landlord to terminate the tenancy of a tenant based solely on a crime being committed if the tenant, or someone lawfully living with them, is a victim of that crime.

Most of the time, a lease is void if it is fraudulent or signed under duress (being forced to sign a lease). Additionally, your lease may be null and void if your rental unit is considered illegal in your state. For example, in some states, basement apartments are illegal.

To be enforceable, a contract must meet certain legal criteria (i.e. it must have an offer, acceptance, and consideration; each of these terms has a specific legal definition). In almost all cases, you should consult a lawyer to ensure that you have a legally binding lease.

A Lease Amendment is used to modify an existing Lease Agreement between a tenant and landlord by adding or removing clauses, or changing existing clauses. An amendment allows the parties to change the terms without having to sign a new Lease Agreement.

Since a lease is a binding contract between landlord and tenant, if a tenant breaks the contract, he or she could face serious legal consequences. These include: Landlord could sue tenant for rent owed.Tenant could have difficulty finding new apartment due to eviction and/or poor credit.
