Addendum for New Tenant on Existing lease? (swap room mates)

started a topic almost 17 years ago

Is there an Addendum OR Notice that I should have everyone sign when part of the tenants move out (and new tenants back-fill as room mates)? My concern is based on if there are any issues (breaking the lease terms) OR at the end of thier stay regarding security deposit. BACKGROUND: My tenants (3 individuals)signed a 12-month lease that automatically extends "mo. to mo." (and they pay the rent w/ 1 check).// At the 10th month, one tenant moved out and was replace with a new tenant. // Now at the 13th month, another original tenant has moved out and another new tenant has moved in. All new tenants have filled out a rental application (and have good references/credit). I have only ever collected 1 security deposit when the original 3 tenants signed the 12-month lease. If any one has a form/addendume that they have used in the past for this situation it would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. You should write up an Addendum. The wording of it depends on whether you addressed sub-leasing in your original lease.
