Lease Amendment

Modifies specific terms of an existing lease agreement — rent increases, add/remove occupants, pet policy changes, or other amendments.

Why you need one

Keep your lease current

When life changes — new roommate, pet, rent adjustment — the lease should reflect it.

Legal enforceability

Amendments ensure updated terms are legally binding. Verbal agreements are hard to prove.

Avoid disputes

Documented changes prevent 'I never agreed to that' arguments later.

Protect your deposit

Proper amendments help protect your security deposit by documenting approved changes.
