Add / Remove a Tenant Lease Amendment

The landlord and tenant should be in contact with each other. If a tenant is being removed from a lease, they may still have to wait until the lease terminates before receiving their portion of the security deposit.

Helpful Tip – Most landlords are hesitant to make changes to a lease. Therefore, try to set up a dedicated meeting or phone call with the landlord.

Gather the original lease and enter the details into the lease amendment, including, the name(s) of the tenant(s) being added or removed from the agreement. Once written, it should be signed electronically and sent to the other party.

Once the amendment is signed, it can be attached to the original lease and is now part of the entire agreement. Copies should be distributed to all parties and the amendment has been officially added.
