A lease amendment is a legal document that modifies and creates new terms for an existing lease agreement. It allows the changing of any section, clause, rule, or responsibility in the original lease. It is commonly used instead of drafting a new agreement.
Main Purpose
Use when the landlord and tenant want to make a fundamental change to the original lease. After the amendment is signed by both parties, it becomes legally binding.
