If an owner currently has a lease in place with a tenant, the owner then has the option to either;
- Have Unison take over that lease agreement with the signing of an amendment. (The lease duration, terms and conditions do not change)
or
- Sign a new lease with the existing tenant.
Either option is plausible, however the current tenant must always agree with the changes.
Lease Agreement Addenda
At Unison, we use a template for all of our
new leases and make minor additions or subtractions to the lease depending on the tenant. I have added some examples below as to what is considered an addition (addenda) to a lease.
We always add the 'Non-Smoking Suite - Schedule' to our leases which is a good example of an addenda.
Another example is if the tenant has a pet, we add a to the lease a 'Pet Agreement & Policies'. This document describes the pet (type, height, weight, etc.) and also makes the tenant aware that he/she is fully responsible to comply with condo and city bylaws.
Hope that answers your question.
Thanks,
