Addendum vs Amendment
An addendum generally provides additional information to a lease, while an amendment changes the fundamental terms of a lease (e.g., rent amount, end date, etc.). Amendments are modifications made to the original lease agreement form (with approval by both landlord and tenant) whereas an addendum is a separate document that will be attached to the lease once it has been signed by both parties.
How to Add to a Lease
An addendum is added by referencing the original lease. This is accomplished by mentioning the lease date, which is found in the first section of the lease, and the rental property address. Once an addendum is signed by both the landlord and the tenant, it becomes legally binding.
