Lease Renewal / Extension Addendum
Tentunit Template Library · Version 1.0 · [TEMPLATE — review before use]
Important: This is a general-purpose template provided for convenience under the Tentunit Templates Disclaimer & Jurisdiction Notice. It is not legal advice and is not state-specific unless expressly labeled. Landlord–tenant requirements (notice periods, day counts, service methods, disclosures) vary by jurisdiction and change over time. Verify against current local law — or consult a licensed attorney — before use. Complete every [BRACKETED FIELD] and delete instructions in italics before sending.
Use this addendum when the landlord and tenant agree to renew or extend an existing lease, with or without changes to rent or other terms. Attach it to the original lease and give the tenant a fully signed copy. Delete all italic instructions before signing.
1. Parties and Original Lease
This Lease Renewal / Extension Addendum (“Addendum”) is entered into on [DATE] by and between:
- Landlord: [LANDLORD/OWNER NAME], of [LANDLORD MAILING ADDRESS]
- Tenant(s): [TENANT NAME(S)]
This Addendum modifies and extends the residential lease agreement dated [ORIGINAL LEASE DATE] (the “Original Lease”) for the premises located at:
[PROPERTY ADDRESS, UNIT #, CITY, STATE, ZIP] (the “Premises”).
The Original Lease, together with any prior addenda listed here: [LIST PRIOR ADDENDA OR WRITE “NONE”], is incorporated by reference and remains part of the parties’ agreement.
2. Renewal / Extension Term
Check one and complete.
- Fixed-term renewal. The lease is renewed for a fixed term beginning on [NEW TERM START DATE] and ending on [NEW TERM END DATE].
- Month-to-month extension. Beginning on [NEW TERM START DATE], the tenancy continues on a month-to-month basis until terminated by either party with written notice of at least [NUMBER OF DAYS REQUIRED IN YOUR JURISDICTION] days. Commonly 30–60 days depending on state and length of tenancy — verify locally.
3. New Rent
Effective [RENT CHANGE EFFECTIVE DATE], monthly rent for the Premises shall be $[NEW MONTHLY RENT AMOUNT], payable in advance on or before the [DUE DAY, e.g., 1st] day of each month, by [ACCEPTED PAYMENT METHODS].
If rent is increasing, confirm that any separate rent-increase notice required in your jurisdiction was properly given — many states require advance written notice of [NUMBER OF DAYS REQUIRED IN YOUR JURISDICTION] days (commonly 30–90 days), and some jurisdictions cap increase amounts. This Addendum does not replace a legally required rent-increase notice.
4. Changed Terms
The following terms of the Original Lease are changed as shown. Any term not listed remains unchanged.
| Term | Old (Original Lease) | New (This Addendum) |
|---|---|---|
| Lease end date | [OLD END DATE] | [NEW END DATE] |
| Monthly rent | $[OLD RENT AMOUNT] | $[NEW RENT AMOUNT] |
| Security deposit | $[OLD DEPOSIT AMOUNT] | $[NEW DEPOSIT AMOUNT OR “UNCHANGED”] |
| [OTHER CHANGED TERM, e.g., pet rent, parking, utilities] | [OLD TERM] | [NEW TERM] |
| [OTHER CHANGED TERM] | [OLD TERM] | [NEW TERM] |
Delete unused rows. If the security deposit is changing, confirm your jurisdiction’s deposit caps and any receipt/notice requirements before collecting additional funds.
5. All Other Terms Remain in Effect
Except as expressly modified by this Addendum, all other terms, covenants, and conditions of the Original Lease and any prior addenda remain unchanged and in full force and effect during the renewal/extension term. If there is a conflict between this Addendum and the Original Lease, this Addendum controls as to the specific terms it changes.
6. Condition of Premises; Deposit Carryover
Tenant accepts the Premises in its current condition, subject to Landlord’s ongoing repair and habitability obligations under the lease and applicable law. The existing security deposit of $[CURRENT DEPOSIT AMOUNT] shall [CARRY OVER TO THE RENEWAL TERM / BE ADJUSTED AS SHOWN IN SECTION 4] and continues to be held under the terms of the Original Lease and applicable law.
7. Entire Modification; Signatures
This Addendum is the complete statement of the changes agreed by the parties as of its date. No oral modifications are effective. Each party acknowledges receiving a signed copy.
