When to use and what to include

Prepare an addendum or renewal online, then generate a PDF for review and signature. Use it to identify the existing lease, exact change, effective date, unchanged terms, parties, and required consent when adding a policy, changing rent where permitted, adding an occupant, or extending the term.

What to include

  • Reference to the original lease: date signed, parties involved, property address, and the specific sections being modified or supplemented.
  • Exact language of the change — for an addendum, state the new clause; for an amendment, quote the old language and the replacement language side by side.
  • Effective date of the change, and whether it applies for the remaining lease term or a different period.
  • For extensions or renewals: the new lease end date, updated rent amount (if any), and whether all other original terms carry forward unchanged.
  • Signature lines for all parties (landlord and every tenant on the original lease) with the date signed, confirming agreement to the changes.

Record how the existing deposit is treated and any change agreed in the renewal. Deposit limits, notices, accounting, and transfer rules vary by location, so confirm the applicable requirements.
