Lease Amendment

When circumstances in your lease agreement change and both the tenant and landlord agree on the change, establishing a Lease Amendment is an effective way to amend the terms of the original lease without having to redo it entirely. Whether you’re a landlord or a tenant, a Contract Amendment allows you to continue with your lease and your life.

A Lease Amendment is an effective instrument for both landlords and tenants since it allows both parties to simply establish an agreement to amend the terms of the original lease. It effectively allows you to change particular clauses while leaving the rest of the lease in full force and effect.

​​A residential lease can be amended by an amendment, specifically to increase the rent. When the contract is renewed, the lease might be amended to increase the rent. It occurs when the lessor tries to alter the rent due to undervaluation in comparison to market prices. The rent can also be raised after an increase that has been subject to a rider. This happens when the landlord renovates the flat.

When a lease contract ends, it does not automatically terminate. At the end of the lease, either the lessor provides notice with or without an offer to renew, or the tenant provides notice and asks for lease renewal. If no notice or request for renewal is issued, the commercial lease continues indefinitely by tacit renewal. To avoid the landlord terminating the lease, we propose that you sign a lease extension to ensure that you will be able to stay in your rental for the required length.

If the lease is nearing its end and you wish to continue occupying the property, you should contact your landlord to discuss the renewal terms.
