Supplementary agreement to the lease agreement: appointment and rules for drawing up a document

An additional agreement to the lease agreement is drawn up with a view to changing the terms of the previously concluded transaction. Beforehand, the parties should discuss the points of interest, and then the result is formalized in the form of an independent document. The rules for drafting it and the content requirements are governed by the same rules as the main contract.

Purpose of the document

Initially, the lease is a special type of civil law contract, on the basis of which one of the parties (the lessor) in the person of its representative undertakes to provide the other (the lessee) certain property for use and temporary possession. For this, she receives a certain monthly amount of money (rent), the amount of which is established on the basis of prior agreement and in accordance with existing standards. If, for any reason, the parties decide to change the terms of their agreement, they will have to legalize their action by drawing up an additional agreement to the lease agreement.

The reason for such actions can be:

• Adjustment of the composition of participants;
• The change in the amount of the original rent or methods of making it;
• Extension of the term of the contract;
• Changing the obligations of both parties.

In each of these cases, an additional agreement must be drawn up for the lease agreement. This document contains all the amendments to the main text, accepted with the consent of both parties. It can perform the function of not only an additional item, but it is also capable of annulling or significantly changing the already existing sub-items and sections. An additional agreement to the lease agreement must necessarily be drawn up on the principle of mutual consent of the parties and the absence of any conditions for the subsequent termination of the existing arrangement.

Content of the document

Participants in the transaction are required to clearly understand that it is possible to legitimize the disagreements only if an additional agreement is drawn up. The following points must correspond to the lease agreement (a sample document will be presented below):

1. Number, date and place of conclusion of the contract, in which it is necessary to make changes.
2. Data from both sides. And, if they have changed, then this should be noted by a separate paragraph in the agreement being drafted. New information must be confirmed by reference to the relevant documents.
3. The subject of this agreement, that is, those specific changes that are made to the treaty itself.

Separately, it is worth paying attention to the design of this document. Outwardly it should be drawn up by analogy with the main contract. It is desirable to follow the sequence of presentation of information and the form in which it will be presented. That is, you first need to identify the participants, and then formulate in detail the essence of those changes in respect of which they came to this agreement.

Continuation of relations

In the event that the parties wish to continue their cooperation, they will have to document this decision. A sample of the supplementary agreement to the lease agreement in this situation is easy to compile, you just need to take as a basis the original document and change it only the clause in which the subject of the contract is stated .

The wording should be extremely clear and concise. For example, "Extend the term of the agreement No. 350 from 15.11.2015 to September 1, 2016". It is necessary to note below when this agreement comes into force (from a specific date or date of signing). In addition, it must be pointed out that this document is really an integral part of the original contract (number and date). It should also be taken into account that the additional agreement also needs registration, like the agreement itself. The only exceptions are cases where the period is less than one year. Sometimes, in order to avoid undesirable additional costs, bidders do just that.

Rental Property

Leasing out the premises, its owner at any time has the right to make various additions to the text of the treaty. Basically they relate to the parameters of the object itself:

• Location;
• inventory number;
• area;
• Purpose (residential or non-residential).

In addition, the landlord may at any time increase the amount of payment or change the methods for making it. For this, an additional agreement must necessarily be drawn up. The contract for renting a room, as a rule, requires accompanying documents, such as an act of acceptance and transfer. It fixes the transfer of this property into the tenant's possession and contains a complete description of the object by main indicators. Upon termination or early termination of the contract, the property must be returned to the lessor, which is also drawn up by the relevant act. Change of any clause in the contract should always be accompanied by drawing up of the corresponding additional agreement. Oral conversations here have no legal force, no matter what important issues they are not solved.
